How LLMs Work - Part 2: Entering the LLM Space

Last week, we covered the basics — what LLMs are, and how your input gets broken down into tokens.

That was just the starting point. Now those tokens are about to enter the LLM itself.

You know how the space around us is 3D — height, width, and depth?

Well, an LLM’s space has thousands of dimensions. It’s a space made entirely of numbers.

Let’s step inside.

Next week, we’ll explore the transformer and see how these tokens interact through attention, and what happens after that.
