Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence systems trained on vast amounts of data that can understand and generate human language.
LLMs use deep learning technology and natural language processing (NLP) to perform an array of tasks, including text classification, sentiment analysis, code creation, and query response.
Advancements in AI and generative AI are pushing the boundaries of what was once considered far-fetched in the computing sector.
LLMs bridge the gap between human understanding and machine learning to offer a better content output.
LLMs continue to improve their ability to provide logical and trustworthy responses across many complex knowledge sectors.
Pre-trained language representation models (LRM) can be fine-tuned for specific tasks like text classification and language generation.
LLMs are highly beneficial for problem-solving and helping businesses with communication-related tasks.
LLMs can generate natural-sounding translations across multiple languages, enable code and text generation, and perform tasks with minimal training examples or without any training at all.
Large language models have challenges and limitations that may affect their efficacy and real-world usefulness.
Duke University's specialized course teaches students about developing, managing, and optimizing LLMs across multiple platforms, including Azure, AWS, and Databricks.
