LLM (Large Language Model)
Large language models that understand and generate human language.
Explanation
LLMs are neural networks with billions of parameters trained on massive amounts of text. They can understand, generate, translate language, and perform tasks such as summarizing or creating code.
How it works
An LLM predicts word by word what should come next - based on the entire context (the prompt). By training on billions of texts, it has built up a wide range of knowledge.
Example
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google) – the models behind modern AI chatbots and copilots.
Why it matters
LLMs are the engine behind most current enterprise AI applications – from customer service to document processing.
