Large Language Models(LLMs)

๐‹๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ž ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ (๐‹๐‹๐Œ๐ฌ) are essentially computer programs that have been trained on massive amounts of text data to understand and generate human language. Here's a breakdown of their key aspects:

๐”๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ฎ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ: By analyzing these vast amounts of text, LLMs learn the patterns and relationships between words, allowing them to grasp the intricacies of language, including grammar, syntax, and semantics.

๐“๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: LLMs can generate coherent and contextually relevant text. Theyโ€™re used for chatbots, content creation, and creative writing.

๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: LLMs excel at translating text between languages.

๐’๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ณ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: They create concise summaries of longer texts.
