Large Language Model (LLM)
A large language model is an artificial intelligence system trained on massive amounts of text to understand and generate human-like language. These models power tools like chatbots, writing assistants, and search features. They work by predicting the next word in a sequence based on patterns learned during training. Large language models are widely used in customer support, content creation, coding assistance, and research. Their ability to handle complex language tasks makes them a core building block of modern AI applications.
