What is an LLM?


Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of artificial intelligence that can understand, generate, and work with human language. They are the technology behind popular AI systems like ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, and many others.


How LLMs Work


LLMs are trained on massive amounts of text data from the internet, books, articles, and other sources. They learn patterns in language by analyzing word relationships, learning context, and pattern recognition.


Key Characteristics


  • Large Scale: Trained on billions of text examples
  • Versatile Capabilities: Text generation, translation, code generation
  • Context Understanding: Can maintain conversation context

  • Applications


    LLMs are used in chatbots, content creation, code generation, language translation, and data analysis.
