The genesis and an analysis of large language models
Luring someone into reading a book is never a small feat. If it’s a novel, you must convince them that it’s a beautiful story, and if it’s a technical book, you must assure them that they’ll learn something. In this case, we’ll try to learn something.
Over the past two years, generative AI has become a prominent buzzword. It refers to a field of artificial intelligence (AI) focused on creating systems that can generate new, original content autonomously. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and GPT-4 are notable examples of generative AI, capable of producing human-like text based on given input.
The rapid adoption of LLMs is leading to a paradigm shift in programming. This chapter ...
