Large Language Models (LLMs)

A type of artificial intelligence trained on vast amounts of text data to understand, generate, and manipulate human language.

Explanation

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced deep learning models, typically based on the Transformer architecture, that utilize billions of parameters to process and generate natural language. They are trained using self-supervised learning on massive datasets comprising books, articles, code, and websites. This extensive training allows them to perform a wide range of tasks, including translation, summarization, question answering, and creative writing, without being explicitly programmed for each specific task. Notable examples include GPT-4, Llama, and Claude.
