Large Language Models (LLMs) starter concept workflow

What is Large Language Models (LLMs)?

LLMs generate text token by token using probabilities conditioned on context.

This starter module focuses on a simple but practical workflow so learners can build intuition before advanced topics.

How an LLM Responds

1

Tokenization

Text is split into tokens that the model can process numerically.

2

Inference

The transformer computes probabilities for the next token from context.

3

Decoding

A decoding strategy selects tokens until a complete response is formed.

Real World Example

Prompt-to-response in production.

Customer Support Assistant

A support assistant receives a question, processes context, and drafts a response token by token.

1

Prompt Input

User asks for refund policy details.

2

Context + Inference

The model uses policy docs and prior turns to rank likely next tokens.

3

Final Output

The assistant returns a structured and readable answer.
