Episode Notes

What this episode covers.

ChatGPT, translation tools, and even your phone’s predictive text all have one thing in common: they’re powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). But what exactly are they?

In this episode of In Simple Terms with Satish, we break down LLMs in everyday language. Think of a child who reads thousands of books and then learns to finish your sentences, predict stories, or write their own. That’s how LLMs work — trained on billions of words to understand and generate human-like language.

No jargon. No confusion. Just clarity.
