Understanding LLM and Transformer

A beginner level and generalized explanation of the modern face of Artificial Intelligence: the Large Language Model (LLM) coupled with the Transformer architecture. Fairly rigorous in places (Danger! Math!), but the overall tone of the presentation is a colloquial and metaphoric.

  1. Learning Objectives:
  2. Understanding transformer architecture
  3. Understanding the strengths and limitations of this approach to AI.
