LLM
Large language model - trained on vast amounts of text, understands and generates language. The heart of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini.
An LLM (Large Language Model) is a neural network trained on massive text datasets that has learned to predict the next word. From this seemingly simple ability emerges the capacity for conversation, translation, summarization, programming, and problem-solving. LLMs power all popular assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and dozens of others. It's important to remember that the model doesn't "know" things the way humans do-it generates the most probable response based on patterns from training, which is why it can be confident even when it's wrong.
