Large Language Models (LLMs): A Beginner's Guide
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed the way we interact with technology. From chatbots like ChatGPT to coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, many modern AI applications are powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) . An LLM is an AI model designed to understand and generate human language. It can answer questions, write articles, summarize documents, translate languages, generate code, and assist with many everyday tasks. What is a Large Language Model? A Large Language Model (LLM) is a deep learning model trained on massive amounts of text data, including books, websites, articles, and source code. During training, it learns the statistical patterns of language, enabling it to predict the most likely next token in a sequence. Although this objective sounds simple, it allows the model to perform a wide range of language tasks. For example: Input The capital of France is Prediction Paris This prediction process happens repeatedly, one tok...
