Semantic Kernel 101
Last updated: Wednesday, January 31, 2024
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2024 - January/February
Mike Yeager introduces Semantic Kernel (SK), an open-source AI framework developed by Microsoft for .NET for working with large language models (LLMs) and specifically to help create Copilots. Yeager explains that SK serves three main purposes: to abstract the underlying LLMs, APIs, and tooling; to handle complex implementations in a generic way; and to facilitate the integration of user-generated content. He also discusses the benefits of using SK, such as its ability to create prompt templates, handle ad hoc scenarios, and assist with tasks like tokenization and text splitting. Despite still being in preview, Yeager suggests that SK is a powerful SDK that is worth exploring.
