@ballardw , An LLM is a Large Language Model.  They are machine learning models primarily built on transformer architecture for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. They have been a key driver in the Generative AI boom.  One popular task that LLMs have seen early success in is coding.  To learn more about how SAS is working with LLMs, I recommend the following resources: https://www.sas.com/en_us/solutions/ai/generative-ai.html https://blogs.sas.com/content/subconsciousmusings/2024/04/05/llm-prompts-with-sas/ https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Generative-AI-and-Large-Language-Models-Demystified/ta-p/888489   Thanks. ...

@AndrewZ ,   I appreciate you suggestion and your commitment to SAS and the SAS Language. We also noticed that that quality of SAS code generated by foundation LLMs is not up to our or our users standards.  So we've embarked on a process to create a SAS Viya Copilot that can, among other features, generate SAS code. We are currently in the process of further testing and fine-tuning our models, which are available in a private preview.   You can learn more about it here: https://blogs.sas.com/content/sascom/2024/04/17/3-ways-you-can-use-a-copilot-in-sas/   If you'd like to be a part of the private preview, reach out to your sales representative and they can get in touch with the rights folks here at SAS to see if you and your organization would be a good fit for the private preview.   Thanks. ...

I also want to note that SVM is available in the SVMACHINE Procedure in SAS Viya Machine Learning.  (https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/v_053/casml/casml_svmachine_overview.htm) ... View more
