Week 2 – Day 8: Understanding AI Models
LLaMA
What LLaMA actually is
LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) is a family of open‑weight language models released by Meta.Unlike closed models, LLaMA is designed so developers and researchers can run, adapt, and build on it themselves.
In simple terms:
  • It’s a powerful text‑understanding and text‑generation model
  • Often used behind the scenes in tools and apps
  • Known for flexibility and efficiency when run locally or on servers
What people commonly use it for
Beginners and builders use LLaMA for:
  • Learning how modern AI models work under the hood
  • Powering chatbots or assistants in custom apps
  • Writing, summarizing, and explaining text
  • Running AI locally for privacy or experimentation
  • Fine‑tuning models for specific tasks
You might not “chat with LLaMA” directly every day — but many tools are built on it.
One small thing to try today
Think about where AI runs.
Prompt to try (any AI chat):
“What’s the difference between running an AI model locally and using one in the cloud?”
This helps you understand why models like LLaMA matter.
Simple steps
  1. Ask a question about how AI models are deployed
  2. Read the explanation slowly
  3. Notice mentions of privacy, speed, cost, or control
  4. Ask a follow‑up like:
Why this helps
  • You learn that AI isn’t just one app — it’s many models and setups
  • You understand the trade‑offs between convenience and control
  • You gain context for why open models exist
  • You become better at choosing tools later
This is a mindset shift: AI as infrastructure, not just a chatbot.
