Glossary
Large language model (LLM)
A neural network trained on vast amounts of text to predict the next token, which turns out to be enough to write, summarise, reason and code.
LLMs are the engines behind ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. They are trained in two stages: pre-training on general text, then post-training (instruction tuning and reinforcement learning) to make them helpful and safe.
