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.
