In my [previous article](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/542132/comparing-gpt-4o-vs-claude-3-5-sonnet-for-zero-shot-text-classification) I presented results comparing Anthropic [Claude 3.5 Sonnet](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-5-sonnet) and [OpenAI GPT-4o](https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/) models for zero-shot text classification. The results showed that the Claude 3.5 Sonnet significantly outperformed GPT-4o. These results motivated me to develop a simple retrieval augmented generation system with [LangChain](https://www.langchain.com/) that enables the Claude 3.5 …

As a data scientist, I have extensively used the Hugging Face library for processing unstructured data such as images, text, and audio. My previous blogs have covered various transformer models for these types of data. Lately, however, I discovered that Hugging Face also provides transformer models for tabular data. One …

In this tutorial, you will see how to summarize YouTube video transcriptions using [Distil Whisper large V3](https://huggingface.co/distil-whisper/distil-large-v3) and [Mistral-7b-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2). Both Distill Whisper Large V3 and Mistral-7B-Instruct models are open-source and free-to-use models. The Distil Whisper large V3 model is a faster and smaller variant of the [Whisper large V3 model](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large-v3), …

In previous articles, I explained how to use natural language to interact with [PDF documents](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541732/paris-olympics-ticket-information-chatbot-with-memory-using-langchain) and [SQL databases](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541771/using-natural-language-to-query-sql-databases-with-python-langchain-module), using the Python [LangChain module](https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction) and [OpenAI API](https://openai.com/blog/openai-api).
