Oreilly - Quick Guide to ChatGPT, Embeddings, and Other Large Language Models (LLMs)

Large language models (LLMs) are a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that use deep learning to process natural language. LLMs are trained on large datasets of text and can be used to generate text, answer questions, and perform other tasks related to natural language processing. LLMs are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of applications, such as recommendation engines, information retrieval systems, image captioning, and translation/summarization pipelines. LLMs are also being used to build chatbots to have conversations that change their style of speaking depending on who they are talking to. LLMs are powerful tools that can help organizations and individuals make sense of large amounts of data and generate insights that would otherwise be difficult to obtain.
