Syllable breakdown

Dictionary meaning

a type of artificial intelligence system trained on vast corpora of text using self-supervised learning objectives, typically next-token prediction, that develops the ability to generate, translate, summarise, classify, and reason about natural language; large language models such as GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and LLaMA are built on the transformer architecture and contain billions to trillions of parameters; their emergent capabilities — including in-context learning, chain-of-thought reasoning, and code generation — have surprised researchers and sparked widespread debate about the nature of intelligence, the risks of AI systems, and the economic and social implications of automating knowledge work
