Understanding the Foundations of Large Language Models (LLMs)

Understanding the Foundations of Large Language Models (LLMs) Meta-Description Dive into the core concepts behind large language models (LLMs) and the Transformer architecture. Learn about tokens, embeddings, weights, the attention mechanism, and how these elements combine to power modern AI applications. Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP), making it possible for machines to understand and generate human-like text. At the heart of these models lies the Transformer architecture, which leverages various components to analyze and generate language in a way that mimics human writing. In this blog post, we will explore the fundamental building blocks of LLMs, including tokens, embeddings, weights, attention mechanisms, and important concepts like fine-tuning and inference vs. training. ...
