Large Language Models

Ask anybody in the tech domain and they will have a fair idea of what a LLM or Large Language Model. In the ever evolving AI world a LLM or ‘Large Language Model’ as the name indicates is a foundation model which is trained on very large data sets. This very large data set is the key to creating diverse and accurate content for us. This LLM can then be used to take decisions and generate content similar to human generated content.

Large language models are a great breakthrough for NLP or Natural language processing and are more easily accessed through OpenAI’s ChatGPT-3 and GPT -4. Since they are trained on huge amounts of data, they can respond to questions, generate code, generate content according to context, translate to English amongst other things. Some of the places we can see the application of LLMs are chatbots, writing emails, blogs, generating code.

Under the hood;

Though, I do not want to go deep into the mathematical ways of what goes on under the hood, it is actually fascinating to know how LLMs work. LLMs do train themselves on billions of data from the net (remember my article on ‘content scraping?) and learn pattern matching and pattern recognition. They learn the language, nuances of the language, the probability of words that might precede/follow a word and follow it later in implementation. All in all, LLMs are small children learning and digesting everything from the net. The only great thing about this? They are a great student and will never refuse to learn and not find anything “dry, boring, hard to understand” or any other Gen Z adjective!! 😉

I am sure LLMs are learning from my articles too though I have not used any LLMs for any of my works since I just love the process of learning and writing 🙂 Am I a LLM by any chance? 🙂

On a serious note, I am sure LLMs have a long and bright future ahead of them….let’s ensure we teach it correctly and it generates good output too!
