LLM (large language model)
LLM(거대 언어 모델)
An AI that has read a huge amount of text and learned to continue it by writing the next words.
Overview
An LLM reads a huge amount of text, such as books, web pages and code, and learns "which word is most likely to come next." When you ask a question, it builds an answer by adding likely next words one piece at a time.
The principle is simple, but it has learned from so much text that it can summarize, translate, write code and even advise. Chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini run on an LLM inside.
An everyday example
Think of a machine that is very good at guessing whether "the weather today is really" is followed by "nice" or "cold."
Why it matters
Most AI services you use today run on an LLM. Once you know an LLM is a machine that writes plausible continuations, not one that looks up what it knows, you can see why it sometimes says wrong things with confidence.
