Basics
Large language model (LLM)
A neural network trained on very large amounts of text to predict the next token, which lets it write, answer questions, summarise, translate and code.
LLMs such as Claude, GPT and Gemini have billions of parameters. Although trained only to predict the next piece of text, at scale they develop broad abilities in reasoning, coding and following instructions.
