How Large Language Models Work takes you inside an LLM, showing step-by-step how a natural language prompt becomes a clear, readable text completion. Written in plain language, you’ll learn how LLMs are created, why they make errors, and how you can design reliable AI solutions. Along the way, you’ll learn how LLMs “think,” how to design LLM-powered applications like agents and Q&A systems, and how to navigate the ethical, legal, and security issues.
