What I’m imagining is an LLM that is strongly tied to the book, in the sense of being RLHF’d for the book (or something along those lines), like an author able to cater to any reader interested in the book, but also confined to what the book is about. An LLM embodiment and generalization of the book. Not an LLM you can talk about anything where you just happen to talk about some random book now. The LLM should be clearly specific to the book. LLMs for different books would feel as distinct from each other as the books do, and you couldn’t prompt-engineer the LLM to go out of the context the book.

This doesn’t make sense to me. Why would you want something like this? What is it exactly that you expect from such a finetuned model that you cannot get from a frontier general purpose model?
