At its heart, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all about teaching computers to think, learn, and solve problems in a way that mimics human intelligence. A fascinating part of AI is Generative AI, which focuses on creating brand new things, like text, images, and music.
Here are some of the key ideas in simple terms:
Large Language Model (LLM): Think of an LLM as a super-intelligent "brain" that has been trained on a massive amount of text from the internet. When you ask it a question, it uses this vast knowledge to understand and give you a detailed answer.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Imagine you tell the LLM, "Don't just use your general knowledge; I want you to answer based on this specific document I'm giving you." RAG allows the LLM to pull information from a particular source you provide, making its answers more precise and relevant to your needs.
Agents: An AI Agent is like giving the LLM a special power to take action. You could tell it, "Go search the internet for the latest news on this topic and then give me a summary." The agent performs the task of searching and then hands the information back to the LLM to answer your query.
Similarity Search: When you give an AI a huge document, how does it find the exact right paragraphs to answer your question? Similarity search is a clever process that uses to scan through everything and find the pieces of text that are most similar in meaning to what you're asking.
Vector Embeddings: To understand what words mean and how they relate to each other, a computer turns text into a special code of numbers called vector embeddings. Think of it as a way to capture the "vibe" or semantic meaning of a piece of text. Words with similar meanings will have similar number codes.
Prompt Engineering: This is the art of figuring out the best way to ask the LLM a question. How you phrase your query can make a big difference in the quality of the answer you get back. It's all about communicating clearly and effectively with the AI.
Embedding Model: This is a specialized tool within the AI system whose only job is to convert your documents and questions into vector embeddings (the number codes). It’s the engine that powers the similarity search.
Generation Model: This is the LLM itself, which acts as the core "brain" of the operation. It takes all the relevant information and crafts the human-like sentences that form the final answer you read.
Vector Database: This is a special kind of database built to store and organize all the vector embeddings. Its unique design allows it to perform similarity searches incredibly quickly.
Pre-training: This is the first and most important step in building an LLM. The AI is given a huge amount of text and learns the basic patterns of language, grammar, and facts by predicting the next word in a sentence over and over again. This creates a powerful foundation model.
Fine-tuning: After a model has been pre-trained, it can be further trained on a smaller, high-quality dataset for a specific purpose. This process, known as fine-tuning, helps to align the model's responses to be more accurate, helpful, and safe for specific tasks.
Feeling overwhelmed by the tech, but excited by the potential?
