Understand LLMs, prompting, tokens, context windows, and model types
Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data. They can understand and generate human‑like language, assist with complex tasks, and enable natural interactions with technology.
AI systems trained to understand and generate text using deep learning.
Giving the model instructions or questions to guide its output.
Small text units (words or subwords) that LLMs process.
The maximum number of tokens the model can consider at once.
Text is broken into tokens.
The model analyzes patterns learned during training.
It predicts the most likely next token repeatedly.
A complete response is generated and returned.
Chatbots, assistants, reasoning, and broad tasks.
Optimized to follow user commands more reliably.
Medical, legal, coding, or specialized professional tasks.
They are trained on large datasets, but not the whole internet.
No. They predict patterns based on training data.
They limit how much information the model can consider in one conversation.
