Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs)

Large Language Models (LLMs) are the backbone of modern text-based AI.

How Do They Work?

LLMs are trained on vast amounts of text data to predict the next word in a sequence. This simple objective, when scaled up, leads to emergent capabilities like reasoning, translation, and summarization.

Popular LLMs

• GPT-4: OpenAI's flagship model.
• Claude 3: Anthropic's helpful and harmless assistant.
• Llama 3: Meta's open-weights model.
