Key facts about Large language models

• Large language models use deep learning techniques to process large amounts of text.
• They work by processing vast amounts of text, understanding the structure and meaning, and learning from it.
• LLMs are ‘trained’ to identify meanings and relationships between words.
• The greater the amount of training data a model is fed, the smarter it gets at understanding and producing text.
• The training data is usually large datasets, such as Wikipedia, OpenWebText, and the Common Crawl Corpus.
• These contain large amounts of text data, which the models use to understand and generate natural language.

Q1) What is Artificial intelligence (AI)?

It is a discipline of computer science that focuses on developing intelligent agents—systems that can reason, learn, and make decisions on their own. AI research has given excellent solutions to a wide range of issues, from gaming to medical diagnostics.
