LLM Glossary

47 AI and language model terms explained. Browse all

Large Language Model (LLM)
An AI system trained on massive text data to understand and generate human language.
Tokens
The basic units of text that LLMs process — roughly 3/4 of a word.
Context Window
The maximum amount of text an LLM can process in a single request.
Hallucination
When an LLM generates plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information.
Inference
The process of an LLM generating a response to your input.
Prompt
The text input you send to an LLM to get a response.
Fine-Tuning
Customizing a pre-trained LLM on your specific data to improve performance for your use case.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
A technique that gives LLMs access to external documents to improve accuracy and reduce hallucination.
