LLM Terminology Explained Clearly: Weights, Inference, Sequence, Context Window, Reasoning and more

I just published a simple, practical guide to modern LLM terminology in 2026 — perfect if you’ve been confused by terms like weights, inference, context window, quantization and self-hosting.

👉 https://devforth.io/insights/llm-terminology-guide-weights-inference-effective-sequence-length-and-self-hosting-explained/

In the post I explain each concept in straightforward language with examples, so you can better evaluate APIs or even self-host a model yourself.

Hope you ❤️ it!
