Generative AI and Large Language Models

After reading this chapter and completing the exercises, you will be able to do the following:

• Understand the concept of generative artificial intelligence (AI )and its role in creating new data samples based on learned patterns from existing data.

• Identify the various types of generative AI models, including Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), variational autoencoders (VAEs), and autoregressive models.

• Recognize the significance of large language models (LLMs) in the evolution of natural language processing and their applications across industries.

• Explain the transformer architecture, its key components, and the mechanisms that allow it to excel in natural language processing tasks.

• Describe OpenAI’s ...
