Definition
LLMs are transformer-based models with billions or trillions of parameters. They learn statistical patterns from training data, enabling them to complete text, answer questions, and engage in dialogue.
Scale
Larger models generally perform better on complex tasks, but require more computational resources to train and deploy.
Governance Scope
LLMs pose broad governance risks: they can generate harmful content, encode biases, hallucinate false information, and have unpredictable emergent behaviors as scale increases.
