  The Lok Sabha elections in India in 2024 are considered particularly critical for several reasons: Polarized Political Landscape : India's political landscape has become increasingly polarized, with major parties like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC), among others, sharpening their ideological stances. This polarization tends to mobilize voter bases more strongly and leads to highly contested elections. Economic Challenges : India faces numerous economic challenges, including inflation, unemployment, and sector-specific issues such as agriculture and manufacturing. The outcome of the elections could significantly influence the government's approach to tackling these problems. Impact of Recent Policies : The current government has implemented several major policies, such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST), farm laws (though later repealed), and changes to citizenship laws. The public's response to these policies is likely to be a cri

  As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) evolves, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly central due to their ability to process and generate human-like text. Custom LLMs represent a significant advancement, tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of different sectors and industries. Custom LLMs: Tailored for Precision and Relevance Unlike general pre-trained models, custom LLMs are designed around specific datasets relevant to particular domains or industries. This specialization allows them to produce outputs that are not only more accurate but also more contextually relevant than their generic counterparts. Building Custom LLMs Currently, there aren't ready-to-use custom LLMs available for direct purchase. However, organizations can create their own custom models by fine-tuning pre-trained models like GPT-3 or Jurassic-1 Jumbo with domain-specific data. This data can range from industry reports and customer feedback to proprietary business documents. Selectin
