There are a few good options!

First, (if you’re a Microsoft customer), you could create a power app with necessary security to call the openAI API

Second, here’s an experiment done with several LLMs that can be run locally and how they perform. These can be installed like any python library. They may not perform quite as well as the openAI options, but they’re quite good and don’t require an API to run – so no need to even access the internet at all to work!

Hello,

I am hoping to connect with someone who’s organization has or is implementing a generative ai solution behind their firewall.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jenika.  Has Salt River Project implemented either of these two options?

Hi Mike,

I’m not sure if you saw this UAI News post.  We are having a 3-part roundtable discussion about generative AI. Here’s a link to all of them and a description of the one coming up on Monday, 7/31. These are discussions, not presentations, so feel free to ask about who is doing what.

UAI Real-Talk Roundtables: Let’s “Chat” About Generative AI | UAI News (utilityanalytics.com)

UAI invites members to join us for a three-part series of roundtable discussions on Generative AI.  We will delve into the world of Generative AI, exploring its intricacies, available options, and practical implementation strategies. As a member organization dedicated to fostering innovation through analytics, UAI is excited to host this discussion series.

 

Part 1: Generative AI: What it IS and what it IS NOT

Monday, July 31^st 9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET

During this segment of our roundtable discussions, we will unravel the inner workings of AI, furthering our understanding of its mechanisms. We will explore the specialized nature of various Generative AI products and debate its significance as a distinct field of study within the AI domain. Our aim is to collectively clarify misconceptions and lay a solid foundation for deeper exploration and knowledge sharing.

Join our enlightening discussion series where we will connect the dots between Generative AI and utility analytics. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together and unlock the untapped potential of Generative AI in the utilities industry.

Hello UAI Members,

 

I hope all is well and that everyone is enjoying the end of July! I know several folks are out of office on a much deserved summer vacation but for those of you still in office I wanted to share a short poem for this week’s #WisdomWednesday. The poem below comes from Catherine Pulsifer who has become a recent favorite for me. If you have a wisdom themed poem I’d love to hear from you below as well! 

 

 

Catherine Pulsifer, © 2012

Easy is as easy does,
Who hasn’t heard that phrase?
But what really does that mean,
If you don’t do, easy never finds the way?

There are so many different ways,
That messages are tangled in.
Find a quote or poem you like,
Then make sense of what is says.

Sometimes you may not understand,
But then there will be times you do.
And those times are when we truly benefit,
And bring the message into view.

Wisdom finds us in many ways,
It’s up to us to allow it to help.
Many people benefit from these thoughts,
And it’s a way to allow yourself to self-help.

Have a quote or piece of wisdom you would like to share? I’d love to hear from you below!

“A negative mind will never give you a positive life”

Hello UAI Members,

It’s hump day which means we wanted to start another fun #WisdomWednesday thread! Often times with a long weekend coming up, I find myself getting a little more stressed than usual trying to accomplish and get everything done but have found the following quote useful in keeping me relaxed and grounded. There’s no reason why we can’t be relaxed and still accomplish everything on our lists, in fact staying relaxed will only benefit us in the long-run!

“Let go the idea that gentle, relaxed people can’t be superachievers”

UAI Members – If you have a quote or piece of wisdom you would like to share, let us know in the comments section below!
