HOW NOT TO USE LLMS WITH IDP Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs), like the one behind ChatGPT, have revolutionized AI capabilities, from acing exams to replacing nutritionists. Integrations between Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) vendors and LLMs are announced, raising practical considerations. Compute Power Challenges AI models, especially LLMs, are computationally intensive. Externally hosted LLMs incur significant costs, impacting the ROI of IDP solutions designed to reduce manual labor. Consistency Concerns Inconsistent answers from LLMs can compromise accuracy in document processing, challenging the reliability of IDP solutions relying on LLMs. Token Limits Impact Most LLMs have token limits, hindering real-time data processing in IDP solutions and potentially affecting scalability. Context Maintenance Difficulty Expensive computing leading to token limits also poses challenges in maintaining context during document processing, risking accuracy in IDP. The Great Start Problem Initial positive impressions of LLMs may fade with time as challenges in viability, reliability, and economy become apparent in practical business technology applications. Learning Loop Setback The ML Feedback Loop, vital for continuous learning in IDP systems, takes a step back with LLMs. Finetuning LLMs for each customer's data is cumbersome, impacting the incremental improvement cycle. Conclusion While LLMs represent progress, their blind use during hype cycles can lead to challenges. Strategic employment, as done at Infrrd, can enhance IDP platforms and make customers' lives easier. THANK YOU To know more, visit: https://www.infrrd.ai/blog/how-not-to-use-llms-with-idp
