🚀 Large Language Models (LLMs)

Day 1: What is an LLM?

A Large Language Model (LLM) is a neural network designed to understand, generate, and respond to human-like text. These models are deep neural networks 🧠 trained on massive amounts of text data 📚, enabling them to handle various natural language processing (NLP) tasks.

Breaking Down Large Language Models:

  • Large: Models with billions of parameters 🏗️
  • Language Models: Capable of performing a wide range of NLP tasks, including answering questions, translation, sentiment analysis, and much more 🔍💬

LLMs vs. Earlier NLP Models:

  • LLMs: Can handle a broad spectrum of NLP tasks 🎯
  • Earlier NLP Models: Designed for specific tasks like language translation 🔄

Earlier models couldn't follow custom instructions like writing an email ✉️, something modern LLMs can do with ease! LLMs thrive because of their transformer architecture, allowing them to process and generate human-like text with incredible accuracy ⚡.

Applications of LLMs:

💬 Chatbots and virtual assistants

🌍 Machine translation

✍️ Generating new text

❤️ Sentiment analysis
