Introduction
This video explains large language models (LLMs), focusing on what they are, how they function, and their business applications. The speaker, an apparent expert in the field, uses GPT as a primary example.
Key Takeaways
LLMs are instances of foundation models: Foundation models are pre-trained on massive datasets of unlabeled data, allowing for generalizable outputs. LLMs specialize in text and text-like data (e.g., code).
LLMs are massive: They can be tens of gigabytes in size, trained on petabytes of data and involving hundreds of billions of parameters (GPT-3 example: 175 billion parameters, 45 terabytes of data).
LLM Components: LLMs comprise three key components: data (massive text datasets), architecture (typically a transformer neural network), and training (predicting the next word in a sequence, iteratively refining predictions).
Fine-tuning LLMs: After initial training, LLMs can be fine-tuned on smaller, specific datasets to improve performance on particular tasks.
Business Applications: LLMs find use in customer service (intelligent chatbots), content creation (articles, emails, social media posts), and software development (code generation and review).
