LLMs – reasoning engines for intelligent apps

LLMs are the key technology of intelligent applications, unlocking whole new classes of AI-powered systems. These models are trained on vast amounts of text data to understand language, generate human-like text, answer questions, and engage in dialogue.

LLMs undergo continuous improvement with the release of new models. featuring billions or trillions of parameters and enhanced reasoning, memory, and multi-modal capabilities.

Use cases for LLM reasoning engines

LLMs have emerged as a powerful general-purpose technology for AI systems, analogous to the central processing unit (CPU) in traditional computing. Much like CPUs, LLMs serve as general-purpose computational engines that can be programmed for many tasks and play a similar role in language-based reasoning and generation. The general-purpose nature of LLMs lets developers use their capabilities for a wide range of reasoning tasks.
