What are LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that use deep learning techniques to understand and generate human-like text. These models are trained on vast amounts of textual data and can perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks, including language translation, text summarization, question answering, and generating coherent text based on prompts. Examples:

  • ChatGPT (by OpenAI)
  • Gemini (by Google)
  • Llama (by Meta)
