Schwartz Professor of Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York Unive
large language models
A large language model (LLM) is a language model trained with self-supervised machine learning on a vast amount of text, designed for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. The largest and most capable LLMs are generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) that provide the c
