What is a large language model (LLM)?

A large language model (LLM) is an AI model trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate language. During training it learns statistical patterns in language so that it can predict the most likely continuation of any piece of text. From this surprisingly simple capability emerges the ability to answer questions, explain concepts, write software, summarise documents and reason across many domains.


Within intelligent organisations it becomes a cognitive capability that augments people rather than replaces them.
