Large Language Models
A Large Language Model (LLM) is a type of generative AI. LLMs learn patterns in language by analyzing large amounts of text data and use this knowledge to then predict and generate words. People often interact with LLMs through chatbots, which help with tasks like customer service, research, or shopping. These chatbots rely on LLMs, along with natural language processing and deep learning techniques, to provide relevant responses to user queries.
