Technical Term

Full explanation

A Large Language Model, or LLM, is an AI model trained on large amounts of text to understand and generate language. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are all built on large language models.

Why this matters

Knowing that these systems predict language rather than look up facts explains both why they are fluent and why they need grounding to be reliable about a brand.

Where this sits

Large Language Model (LLM) belongs to AI & Search Infrastructure, one of the seven layers of the Aingworth Glossary. The technical vocabulary behind the interfaces. Useful for understanding how the systems work, without becoming the center of the conversation.
