What is an LLM?
Understanding Large Language Models
Module 1 of 8
Large Language Model (LLM)
A Large Language Model is an artificial intelligence system trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human-like language. Think of it as a very sophisticated text prediction engine that can:
- Answer questions and provide explanations
- Write emails, reports, and creative content
- Translate between languages
- Help with coding and technical tasks
- Engage in conversations and discussions
What LLMs Can Do
- • Generate human-like text
- • Understand context and nuance
- • Adapt to different writing styles
- • Process complex instructions
Important to Remember
- • They predict text, not "think"
- • Quality depends on training data
- • They can make mistakes
- • Need clear instructions (prompts)
The key to working effectively with LLMs is learning how to communicate with them clearly through well-crafted prompts - which is exactly what this course will teach you!
