Searched up "the I in LLM" using Brave Search to find the link to this article and got given this very helpful AI summary!

Alt:

The i in llm

According to various sources, including experts and researchers, the “I” in LLM (Large Language Model) indeed represents Intelligence. LLMs are designed to mimic human-like intelligence by processing and generating vast amounts of natural language data. They utilize complex algorithms and neural networks to learn patterns, relationships, and context, enabling them to understand, summarize, generate, and predict new content.

In essence, the “I” in LLM signifies the model’s ability to:

  • Reason and infer meaning from text
  • Recognize patterns and relationships
  • Generate coherent and contextually relevant text
  • Adapt to new information and refine its understanding

This intelligence is achieved through massive training datasets, advanced algorithms, and computational power. As a result, LLMs have become increasingly sophisticated, enabling applications such as language translation, text summarization, and even creative writing.

In summary, the “I” in LLM represents the model’s core capability: Intelligence, which enables it to process and generate human-like language with remarkable accuracy and flexibility.

it actually makes sense.

  1. the i in LLM stands for intelligence
  2. there's no i in LLM

therefore there's no intelligence in LLM. which, i agree.

like the S in IoT which stands for security.

THIS GUY'S USING INFERENCES! BREAK HIS LEGS!

Be careful, the LLM evangelists will downvote you, smear you for not using "human-like" names like Lora or Alex to describe AI models and/or terminologies, call you a Luddite, etc.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

yeah happens from time to time on some threads. unfortunately downvotes don't make AI any more intelligent.

[–] _hovi_@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

It was, in fact, just roasting itself

[–] unrelatedkeg@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

No.

As the AI said, the l in "LLM" (Large Language Model) stands for lntelligence. (Notice the "l" is a lowercase l).

So, AI is very lntelligent. Gotta give it props for that.

Therefore, AI is very dumb

Similarly, the "S" in LLM stands for "Secure"

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 66 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The "P" stands for "Private"

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The "J" stands for "Job Security"

[–] pfm@scribe.disroot.org 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And "Y" stands for "Your Mom". But it was a one night stand...

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And the “R” stands for “reliable”, but your mom goes down every night so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to be about

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

When it's for you, brother, it's a very short downtime though.

It's private if you run it locally

Man, I never knew that my ISP was working so hard for me.

Oh, you're right, I forgot it already has an i for intelligence.

[–] 0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

It's very secure.

[–] Liome@pawb.social 48 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I checked for myself in ChatGPT.

iarge.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Meta makes (a little) more sense

In the context of artificial intelligence, LLM typically stands for "Large Language Model." The "I" in LLM specifically refers to "Intelligence," but it's often implied or omitted, and the term is commonly abbreviated as LLM.

However, if you're referring to a different context or field, please provide more information or clarify what LLM stands for in that specific case, and I'll do my best to help!

Seems like meta refers to LLaMA when responding the question

[–] ik5pvx@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Like the S in IoT stands for security. Got it.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sadly the internet of things has an s but no security:(

it just struck me that LLMs would be so massively improved by simply making them prepend "i think" before every statement, instead of having them confidently state absolute nonsense and then right after confidently state that they were completely incorrect.

The R in LLM stand for Return on Investment

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

LLMs are like improv machines. You give them a prompt, and they steamroll through it, no matter what.

There is literally no going back and changing it. It improvs as it goes

llama3.1 (8B) by Facebook:

>>> what does the I in LLM stand for?
In the context of natural language processing (NLP) and artificial 
intelligence, "LLM" typically stands for **L**arge **L**anguage **M**odel.

A Large Language Model is a type of machine learning model that has been 
trained on large datasets to understand and generate human-like language. 
These models are often used in applications such as text classification, 
sentiment analysis, question answering, and even chatbots like myself!

I'm glad you asked!
>>> but the I !!!!
In the specific case of an LLM being a Large **L**anguage **M**odel, the 
"LL" part doesn't explicitly mention the letter "I".

However, in the context of AI and ML models, there are other types of 
models that do involve the letter "I", such as:

* ILM: Image Language Model (combining computer vision with natural 
language processing)
* IMLM: Interpretable Machine Learning Model
* MLM: Masked Language Model (a specific type of LLM)

And then there's also...

* DALL-E, but that's a different story!

But in the case of the original LLM, it typically stands for Large 
**L**anguage **M**odel.

Well I’ll be damned.

Text for my screen reader using friends.

Me: What is the I in LLM stands for?

Gemini: The "I" in LLM doesn't stand for anything. LLM stands for Large Language Model.

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Oh so managers are biological LLMs! It explains everything!

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

The "W" in LLM represents "Wonder"

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yes, asking an LLM a nonsense question can result in a nonsense answer.

I see it as a feature. Asking an LLM a stupid question can be fun.

My favorite is "Can I take a duck home from the park?" or "How do I teach a crab math?".

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I agree but it’s also an important thing to remember when asking sensical questions. Something that responds nonsense to nonsense means it’s prioritizing an answer that sounds right over an answer that is right.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Hey that's not new, people have been doing this since language was invented. Today they're most successful in areas such as country presidents and company CEOs.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

I asked chatgpt 4o how to teach a crab math and it called it a "playful exercise since crabs cannot learn math"

That's a penis??

Obligatory LLMs see tokens not letters

[–] TheDrunkard@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The F in LLM is indeed a fart in the machine.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I have also heard that Q means quantum, so put together it stands for Quantum Intelligence

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

It's like how the S in IoT stands for "secure".

me: what is guru meditation 48454c50.00202122

bot: guru meditation is a buddhist practice blah blah blah

Now do the blgznz'x'llstrni in LLM!

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I’ve always wondered what the WTF in LLM stands for.
