This article serves as an introductory guide to Large Language Models (LLMs), explaining their fundamental function as sophisticated prediction machines that guess the next word in a sequence. It details how LLMs, such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, are built upon the Transformer architecture, which utilizes self-attention to understand context by weighing the importance of all words in a sentence simultaneously. The process of converting text into a format computers can understand involves tokenization, breaking down words into smaller units, and then creating vector embeddings to represent the meaning of these tokens numerically.
