This paper explains everything there is to know about Large Language Models in simple and understandable terms.

We’ve all heard of ChatGPT and DeepSeek, which are Large Language Models (LLMs). These Large Language Models are powered by a technology called transformers or transformer neural networks.

What makes them so special? They’re able to understand context between words in a sentence and predict the next or expected word in an output sentence. That’s the reason why ChatGPT and other LLMs generate words sequentially; because this complex neural network generates or predicts the next word step by step based on the input sentence.

For example, if I were to input a sentence like ‘Thank you’, obviously the LLM should respond by saying ‘You are welcome’. So, it uses algorithms to predict the first word which is ‘You’, and then the next ‘are’, then finally ‘welcome’. I’m going to show you how they work in detail, so weigh anchor and prepare to set sail! — Read More
