Introducing GenAI and LLMs
Introductions are sometimes boring, but here, it is important for us to set the context and help you familiarize yourself with GenAI and LLMs before we dive deep into LlamaIndex. I will try to be as concise as possible and, if the reader is already familiar with this information, I apologize for the brief digression.
What is GenAI?
GenAI refers to systems that are capable of generating new content such as text, images, audio, or video. Unlike more specialized AI systems that are designed for specific tasks such as image classification or speech recognition, GenAI models can create completely new assets that are often very difficult – if not impossible – to distinguish from human-created content.
These systems use machine learning (ML) techniques such as neural networks (NNs) that are trained on vast amounts of data. By learning patterns and structures within the training data, generative models can model the underlying probability distribution...
