AI | Foundation Model and LLM

 Foundation Model (FM) = broader term:

• Text (LLM)
• Image
• Audio
• Video

LLM: AI model trained on huge amounts of text data to read, write, and understand language like humans

An LLM is a deep learning model trained on large text datasets to understand and generate human-like language.
Model works for textual content considered as LLM.

Break the term

• Large → Trained on massive datasets (books, websites, code, etc.)
• Language → Works with text (and sometimes speech)
• Model → Mathematical system that predicts and generates words

How LLM works

An LLM works by:

• Reading input text (your prompt)
• Predicting the next most likely word
• Repeating this to form sentences

Example:

Input: "The sky is"
LLM predicts → "blue"

Behind the scenes, it uses a concept called
Transformer architecture
(which helps it understand context and relationships between words).
