Description

In this article in Two Sigma, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the landscape of frameworks for abstracting interactions with and between large language models. They suggest two systems of organization for reasoning about the various approaches to, and philosophies of, LLM abstraction:

• Language Model System Interface Model (LMSI), a new seven layer abstraction, inspired by the OSI model in computer systems and networking, to stratify the programming and interaction frameworks that have emerged in recent months.
• A categorization of five families of LM Abstractions which they have identified to perform similar classes of functionality.
