Ever wondered what’s happening behind the scenes of AI like ChatGPT? Join Robert Loft and Haley Hanson as we explore the magic and mechanics of Large Language Models (LLMs). Inspired by a mind-blowing animated walkthrough, we’ll break down how these models:

  • Tokenize words and numbers: The first step in understanding human language.
  • Predict outputs: How AI decides what comes next in a sentence.
  • Learn patterns: Training LLMs to handle everything from coding to poetry.

We’ll also talk about why some see these models as “digital sorcery” and debate if AI’s inner workings are truly comprehensible. If you’re curious about the tech but don’t want to drown in jargon, this episode is your cheat sheet.
