Large Language Models (LLMs) A Large Language Model (LLM) is the brain of an AI Agent. Trained on massive amounts of text, it learns to predict the most likely next token given an input. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are all built on this principle. Key Concept: a Token is the basic unit of text processed by LLMs, roughly 0.75 English words. The Context Window determines how much information the model can 'remember' at one time.
