Understanding Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) represent one of the most significant advances in AI and natural language processing in recent years. Still, many pressing questions about their mechanisms, capabilities, and relationship to human cognition remain highly debated. This chapter aims to outline our current understanding of LLMs by discussing recent evidence on emerging capabilities and their mechanistic implementation within processing layers. We begin with a concise overview of the Transformer architecture, emphasizing how the attention mechanism enables training on massive datasets, allowing LLMs to
