<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize technology and society, with Large Language Models (LLMs) playing a crucial role.LLMs, powered by transformer architecture, analyze sequences in parallel using self-attention, enabling contextual understanding.During training, LLMs consume vast text corpora, tokenize text, convert tokens to numerical vectors, and predict next tokens to learn.When prompted, LLMs tokenize input, process through layers, and generate subsequent tokens based on probabilities.LLMs benefit hackers in areas like social engineering, code automation, reconnaissance, and obfuscation, but caution is advised due to hallucination.A minimalist Python demo is provided for training a nano-LLM, with potential future applications in offensive security.As LLMs evolve, potential uses include autonomous network probing, adaptive malware, and counter-LLM warfare.It's crucial to validate LLM outputs and adapt quickly in the AI arms race to harness their power effectively.
