GPT and other Large Language Models astonish everyone–sometimes even their own designers. How can these things possibly work?

In this talk for AI novices, I'll give you an intuitive, high-level understanding of LLMs. Here are some things that I'm going to talk about:

- The intuition behind deep neural networks.
- How neural networks learn language.
- The ideas behind attention-based architectures and transformers.
- The idea of fine-tuning LLMs with reinforcement learning.
- The concept of emergent abilities in language models.

Let's demystify language AI!
