In this episode of Simply Explained you will learn:
  • Why large language models feel like magic
  • What a large language model actually is
  • How a model learns from reading
  • How it turns your question into an answer
  • Why it sometimes makes things up
  • Where you already meet these models at work
  • How Copilot and Azure actually use them
  • Mistakes beginners make with these tools
  • What to remember, and one question for you
