OpenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs)

What is a large language model (LLM)?

A language model is a computer program trained to process and understand human language. LMs can be of varying complexity, from simple statistical models to advanced neural networks. A large language model (LLM) is an advanced deep learning algorithm proficient in handling various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. These models, employing transformer architectures, undergo extensive training with vast datasets, hence the term “large.” This training equips them to discern, translate, forecast, or produce text and diverse content. Often synonymous with neural networks (NNs), large language models share a foundation with computing systems inspired by the intricate workings of the human brain. These neural networks operate through layered nodes, resembling the structure of neurons.
