LLMs are AI models that predict the next word in a sequence by learning patterns from massive text data. Let’s break it down simply!
1
LLMs predict each next word based on all preceding context, not just a few prior words, to generate coherent text.
2
They’re trained on massive datasets—often large portions of the public web—to learn language patterns and relationships.
3
Modern LLMs use the transformer architecture with self-attention, weighing every word’s importance in context.
4
Text is broken into tokens—words, subwords, or characters—then converted to numbers the model can process.
5
LLMs excel at language tasks: translation, creative text generation, and more—unlocking new AI-driven tools.
6
They can draft stories, scripts, reports, or code—just prompt them, and they’ll continue your text seamlessly.
7
LLMs don’t truly “understand” meaning; they mimic patterns and depend on data quality—biases and errors can slip in.
