Introduction to Large Language Models

The player is loading ...

This episode provides a concise overview of Large Language Models (LLMs), AI systems that generate human-like text using transformer-based neural networks. It explores how LLMs learn from large datasets and highlights real-world applications such as conversational AI, document summarization, healthcare diagnostics, personalized education, and creative tasks like writing and coding. The episode also covers customization through prompt tuning and emphasizes responsible development to address biases and ensure transparency.
