Core Concepts

LLM (Large Language Model)

A Large Language Model (LLM) is an advanced artificial intelligence system trained on massive amounts of text data to understand, generate, and manipulate human language in sophisticated ways.

Large Language Models use deep learning architectures, typically based on transformer networks, to process and generate text. These models learn patterns and relationships in language by analysing billions of words from sources like books, websites, and articles, enabling them to understand context and generate human-like responses.

The “large” in LLM refers to both the enormous amount of training data used and the billions of parameters within the model itself. Modern LLMs can perform a wide range of tasks, from translation and summarisation to creative writing and coding, though they can sometimes produce incorrect or biased information.
