Large Language Models in 2025
Large Language Models (LLMs) are a game-changer in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). These models are designed to process and understand large amounts of text data, picking up on patterns, structures, and relationships in language. Thanks to a technology called “transformers,” LLMs can grasp the context of a sentence, how words fit together, and even the meaning behind them at an extraordinary scale.
At the core of LLMs is their size. With billions or even trillions of parameters, these models are massive and capable of learning from huge datasets, pulling text from everything — from books to websites to social media. By analyzing this data, LLMs can generate human-like responses, making them versatile tools for tasks that need natural language understanding and generation.
The Rise of Transformers and Self-Attention
So, how did LLMs get so smart? A key innovation is the transformer model, which uses something called “self-attention.” Unlike older models, which process words one by one in a sentence, transformers look at all the words in a sentence at once. This makes…
