LLM analogy: Galaxies represent semantic spaces, prompts are entry points

A new analogy likens large language models to galaxies in the night sky, where each galaxy represents a semantic space of meaning. A user's prompt serves as both a direction and an entry point into one of these galaxies. The model's traversal through this space is influenced by parameters like temperature, which controls the 'hop distance' between tokens (stars), and context, which shapes the navigation path. AI

IMPACT Provides a conceptual framework for understanding LLM behavior and parameter influence.

    Mapping Semantic Meaning Onto the Night Sky

    <p>If you were to look up into the night sky, what would you see? Countless points of light, scattered in every direction. Most of what you're looking at are stars. But some of those points are whole galaxies—vast collections of stars, spread across incomprehensible distances, co…
