This term introduces the major categories of AI systems and what they are designed to do in practical use.

🪄 Simple Definition:

A Large Language Model (LLM) is an AI system trained to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

🌟 Expanded Definition:

LLMs are built using deep learning and trained on massive collections of text. This enables them to recognize patterns, understand context, and produce writing that feels natural and human-like.

Examples include ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.LLMs can summarize documents, answer questions, write content, support research, and assist in decision-making.They don’t “think” like people—they generate responses based on statistical patterns learned during training.

⚡ In Action:

You type: “Draft a follow-up message for customers who missed their service appointment.” The LLM produces a polished, professional message in seconds.

💡 Pro Tip:

Clear instructions produce stronger results. Define the role, purpose, tone, and audience to guide the model effectively.
