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
