What is a large language model ?

A Large Language Model is a type of artificial intelligence trained to understand and generate human-like text. Think of it as a digital “brain” that has read an enormous library of books, articles, and conversations, and now can answer questions, write essays, or even have conversations with you.

Ashish Vaswani: Transformer co-creator, AI revolutionary.

In 2017, while working at Google Brain, Ashish Vaswani co-authored the seminal paper "Attention Is All You Need," introducing the Transformer model. This model revolutionized how machines understand and generate human language by allowing them to focus on different parts of a sentence, much like how we pay attention to key words when reading.

Attention Is All You Need

In modern artificial intelligence, specifically in processing sequential data like text or speech, machines often rely on models to predict or translate sequences of information. Before this paper, the state-of-the-art solutions for such tasks were Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). These systems process data sequentially, meaning they handle one piece of information at a time. This makes them slow, especially for long sentences or sequences.
