TALK

Large Language Models for Humans

Large Language Models are the brains behind AI services and applications. They appear to “know” and “understand” almost everything, but how can such breadth of knowledge be condensed down to a file that can comfortably fit on a memory card?

In this talk I’ll explain how LLMs work, what is actually in them, why they seem to “know” everything and dispel some of the misconceptions and fears. All without using mathematical or technical jargon, by breaking the concepts down into a series of understandable bite size nuggets.

Finally, I’ll demonstrate how you can start using them today without the need for expensive hardware or cloud based solutions whilst keeping your data safely on your computer.
