🤖 The Heart of AI Assistants: Understanding the Model

A Model is the core computational structure that makes sense of the data given to it and produces results. In our context of building an AI assistant, a Model refers to the large language model (LLM) like GPT-3, LLaMA, or Mistral that understands and generates text. It is the heart of the system, responsible for taking user inputs (questions, commands) and generating outputs (answers, actions). The model is trained on massive datasets of text, code, and other types of information, allowing it to respond intelligently to a wide variety of requests.

The way it works is based on deep learning techniques, particularly transformer architectures. When you input a prompt or message, the model processes it through layers of neural networks that analyze patterns, relationships between words, and contextual meaning. It then generates a response that best fits the input based on its training. This output is usually in the form of text but can also be structured data or even calls to tools when paired with frameworks like LangChain.
