Engineer Explains: What are LLMs in less than 5 minutes

We all know about Lange Language Models, but do we know what Large Language Models are actually?

LLMs are highly sophisticated deep-learning models trained on vast amounts of data so they can predict the next word in a row. They can process and generate human language.

But that’s just the surface-level explanation. We’ve asked Emanuel Lacic , senior researcher and principal engineer at Infobip, to explain LLM as he would to a junior engineer, a senior engineer, and a CTO.

This video is a part of ShiftMag’s video series, Engineer Explains.

We’ve asked experienced engineers to share how they would explain some basic and some less basic tech terminology to different tech job titles or at three levels of experience — from junior developer to CTO.

More:

How would you explain APIs, internal developer platforms, software architecture, software testing, scaling infrastructure without breaking the bank, low-code as a dev tool, what is a database, Network APIs, Developer Relations or observabilityat three levels of experience?
