LLM

An LLM (Large Language Model) is a form of artificial intelligence that specializes in understanding and generating human language. It is based on probabilistic models and can analyze text as well as generate new content.

Functionality and Use

LLMs are based on deep learning and neural networks and are typically trained using self-supervised learning with very large datasets. In this process, the model is fed extremely large amounts of data and must independently identify patterns and relationships. In this way, it learns the statistical word and sentence sequences of human language and can thus make predictions about them.

Texts are broken down into smaller units (tokens) and converted into numbers. Based on this, the model calculates which word is most likely to follow next in the given context. This results in coherent and understandable responses. Consequently, such models are not smart in the true sense of the word, but simply good at predicting probabilities.

Examples

• Automatically responding to customer inquiries via chat
• Generating texts such as emails or articles
• Translating texts into different languages
• Summarizing long documents or reports
