Large language models and generative artificial intelegence
A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence model that has been trained through deep learning algorithms to recognize, generate, translate, and/or summarize vast quantities of written human language and textual data.
Large language models are some of the most advanced and accessible natural language processing (NLP) solutions today. As a form of generative AI, large language models can be used to not only assess existing text but to generate original content based on user inputs and queries.
