Microsoft develops SpreadsheetLLM, applying LLM capabilities to spreadsheets with SheetCompressor, improving GPT-4's in-context learning by 25.6%.

Microsoft has developed SpreadsheetLLM, an AI tool that applies large language model (LLM) capabilities to spreadsheets, addressing the challenges faced by LLMs in understanding and processing these structured datasets. To optimize LLM capabilities for spreadsheets, Microsoft's team created SheetCompressor, an encoding framework that compresses spreadsheets effectively for use by LLMs. This innovation improves performance in spreadsheet table detection tasks by 25.6% in GPT-4's in-context learning setting.
