Better Conversational AI: Quantization, PPO, Google Search and Real-Time Adaptation Using Qwen 2.5

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed numerous industries, from healthcare and finance to customer service and education. Models like Qwen 2.5, which harness the power of large-scale language models, are advancing the capabilities of AI in ways previously thought unimaginable. However, with these advancements come new challenges in scalability, efficiency, and accuracy, particularly as we aim to deploy these models in real-time applications and resource-constrained environments.

In this technical blog, we’ll explore how we can overcome the shortcomings of traditional AI models by leveraging binary quantization to optimize computational efficiency, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for continuous learning and reward-based fine-tuning, and real-time search integration to address the inherent uncertainty in responses. We’ll dive deep into the mathematical underpinnings of these methods, compare them with traditional approaches, and showcase the benefits and potential use cases of this enhanced system.
