Distilling LLM Power with OpenAI’s API for Agile AI
- The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 in natural language processing has been limited due to their size and computational intensity in resource-sensitive contexts.
- To address this, knowledge distillation is used to transfer the intellectual capabilities of a large model to a smaller and more efficient model.
- The process involves data generation, data preparation, and fine-tuning stages to train the smaller model (GPT-3.5-turbo) to mimic the responses of the larger model (GPT-4).
- The successful completion of the knowledge distillation process using OpenAI API has resulted in a smaller model that can emulate the behavior of the larger model, making LLM capabilities more accessible and efficient.

Why Pre-assigning Tasks in Scrum is a Bad Idea (And What to Do Instead)
- Pre-assigning tasks in Scrum contradicts core principles and hampers performance by undermining self-management and adaptability.
- Scrum emphasizes self-management, where teams internally decide who does what, violating this by pre-assigning tasks externally.
- Pre-assignment reduces adaptability as tasks often change in a Sprint, locking members into work not aligned with priorities.
- It undermines team collaboration, leading to isolated work instead of collective efforts on the Sprint Goal.
- Scrum focuses on delivering a valuable increment aligned with the Sprint Goal, not on individual task completion.
- Pre-assigned tasks create an illusion of progress, limit transparency, and hamper the team's ability to adapt to evolving priorities.
- Dynamic task selection encourages growth, cross-functionality, and resilience within the team.
- Best practices include pulling work dynamically, encouraging swarming, prioritizing the Sprint Goal, fostering cross-functionality, and leveraging visual tools.
- Teams should resist pre-assigning tasks, empower members to collaborate, and focus on adaptability to enhance performance and value delivery.
