The emergence of Large Language Models marks a significant leap forward in AI. LLMs are trained on massive datasets of text from the internet, books, articles, and other sources. This “pretraining” allows them to learn patterns and structures of human language. Fine-tuning with human feedback further refines their responses.
The latest LLMs like GPT-4 have demonstrated extraordinary capabilities, outperforming humans on a variety of tests and tasks. They can generate human-like stories, poems, essays, code, and even pass professional exams.
