How Large Language Models (LLMs) Work
Large Language Models (LLMs), such as GPT, are a type of artificial
intelligence designed to understand and generate human-like text. They
are built using a deep learning architecture called the Transformer,
which excels at handling sequential data like language.
Key Concepts
1. Tokens
Text is broken down into tokens (words, subwords, or characters).
The model processes these tokens instead of raw text.
2. Embeddings
Each token is converted into a numerical vector (embedding) that
captures semantic meaning.
3. Transformer Architecture
- Attention Mechanism: Allows the model to focus on different
parts of the input when generating output.
- Layers of Neurons: Multiple layers process embeddings, gradually
building a deeper understanding of the text.
- Feedforward Networks: After attention, information is passed
through small neural networks that refine the representation.
4. Training
LLMs are trained on vast amounts of text data. The model learns by
predicting the next token in a sequence and adjusting its parameters
to minimize errors. Training requires massive computing power (e.g.,
GPUs/TPUs).
5. Inference (Using the Model)
Once trained, the model generates text by predicting one token at a
time, using probabilities learned during training. Sampling
strategies (like greedy search, top-k, or nucleus sampling) control
creativity and coherence.
6. Fine-tuning & Adaptation
Pretrained LLMs can be fine-tuned on specific datasets to specialize
in tasks like coding, legal text, or customer support.
Limitations
- Biases: Reflect biases in training data.
- Hallucination: Sometimes generate incorrect or nonsensical answers.
- Resource Intensive: Require significant memory and compute power.
Applications
- Chatbots and virtual assistants
- Content creation (articles, summaries, code)
- Language translation
- Education and tutoring
- Information retrieval and Q&A
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In summary, LLMs work by breaking text into tokens, embedding them as
vectors, and processing them through layers of attention-based neural
networks. Through large-scale training, they learn statistical patterns
of language and can generate coherent, context-aware text.
