LLM

Large Language Model

A language model trained at large scale, usually with a Transformer or related architecture, to predict or reconstruct tokens. “Large” has no fixed parameter threshold: current LLMs range from compact local models to very large hosted systems.

Concrete example

GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and Qwen are model families; the apps and agents around them are separate products.
