DefinitionLarge Language Model (大規模言語モデル) is the full name of LLM, and the Japanese term is its official Japanese rendering.
Explanation"Language model" means a model that expresses, as probabilities, how likely words are to follow one another, while "large" refers to the huge volume of training text and the huge number of internal values adjusted during training (parameters). Scaling up is what allowed it to handle a wide range of language tasks, such as answering questions, summarizing, and translating.
Memory hook"Language model" is the name of a long-established technique; what is new is the "large" in front of it.
