Feature Store
A feature store is a centralized place to store and manage features (data inputs) used by machine learning models.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Feature Store is a data management layer that standardizes the definition, storage, and serving of features for both model training and online inference, ensuring consistency and reducing data duplication.
BACKGROUND
A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots. Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.
