The Role Of Large Language Models In The Enterprise
Technative, Monday, June 5,2023
ChatGPT, Bing, Bard. From relative obscurity, these platforms have launched themselves into the public domain in the last few months.
Each is a specific product developed by different companies, but they are all built on top of the same class of technologies called Large Language Models (LLMs).
What is a LLM? And what makes it 'large'? A LLM is a neural network model architecture based on a specific component called a 'transformer.' The transformer gives the LLM the ability to identify how words relate to each other in their context and produce unique answers to questions, rather than 'looking up' responses. A vast number of 'neurons' make up this neural network, and the connections between these neurons are called 'parameters.' These parameters define the strength of the signal between neurons.
