Description

Train, validate, tune, and deploy generative AI solutions with foundation models in IBM® watsonx.ai.

In watsonx.ai, you can use large language models from IBM and other providers. The available foundation models support a range of use cases for both natural languages and programming languages.

Experiment with prompt engineering in the Prompt Lab, a tool that is designed to help you prompt foundation models. Use built-in sample prompts to get started with confidence.

Store effective prompts as prompt template assets that you can reuse and share with others. Or store the prompt as a notebook asset. The prompt text, model reference, and prompt engineering parameters are formatted as Python code in a notebook that you can interact with programmatically.

Use the Tuning Studio to guide a foundation model to return output that better meet your needs.
