This article explains the fundamental concepts behind Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on key elements that influence their text generation capabilities. It details what tokens are, including different types like word, subword, phrase, and character tokens, and introduces Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) as a common tokenization method. The explanation also covers context windows, which determine how much text an LLM can process at once, and the trade-offs between larger context windows and computational costs. Finally, it touches upon temperature as a parameter for controlling randomness and balancing coherence in LLM outputs. AI
