What is a key innovation of LLMs?
- They are trained on a small subset of carefully curated data.
- They rely on rule-based algorithms rather than machine learning.
- They use a supervised learning approach with labeled data.
- They do not require explicitly labeled data for training. (correct)
What type of written material can be used to train LLMs?
What type of written material can be used to train LLMs?
- Almost any written material, such as Wikipedia, news articles, and computer code. (correct)
- Only scientific papers and academic journals.
- Only computer code and programming manuals.
- Only fictional novels and short stories.
How does an LLM learn to make better predictions?
How does an LLM learn to make better predictions?
- By adjusting its weight parameters based on feedback from a human supervisor.
- By gradually adjusting its weight parameters as it sees more examples. (correct)
- By adjusting its weight parameters randomly after each example.
- By using a rule-based approach that doesn't involve weight parameters.

Study Notes
Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs)
- LLMs utilize hidden state vectors, which change as data is processed through layers, facilitating information tracking.
- Modern LLMs have large dimensional vectors; GPT-3, for instance, uses vectors with 12,288 dimensions per word.
- This dimensionality is significantly larger than previous models, such as Google's word2vec, which had 600 dimensions.
- Extra dimensions act as "scratch space," allowing LLMs like GPT-3 to store contextual notes for each word.
Layer Interaction and Contextual Information
- Information encoded in the vectors can evolve as it moves between layers, refining the model’s understanding.
- For example, the 60th layer might produce a vector for a character, John, detailing attributes like marital status and location as a list of numbers.
- Other words in the story, like Cheryl or wallet, may also carry contextual information through their respective vectors.
Model Architecture and Learning Focus
- LLMs typically consist of many layers; GPT-3 has 96 layers, allowing for complex processing.
- Initial layers emphasize syntactic comprehension and ambiguity resolution.
- Subsequent layers focus on discerning higher-level meanings, integrating character details such as gender, relationships, locations, and objectives throughout a narrative.
Practical Considerations
- The analysis and descriptions of LLMs in diagrams are often hypothetical and meant to illustrate concepts rather than depict exact model behavior.
- Real language models are extensively researched and show far richer capabilities than simple representations allow.
