LLM (Large Language Model)
Artificial Intelligence systems using deep learning networks trained on a large amount of data. LLMs – such as Google Bard, OpenAI's GPT models, Meta's LLaMA and many more – were designed to "understand" and write natural language text. They can operate as next-level chatbots capable of reading and responding to many different languages – but they're also highly capable when it comes to writing and analyzing software code.
They are not generally considered to be sentient beings, but as of 2023, they frequently display such a subtle and broad command of language that they do an excellent impression. Along with their stunning writing ability, they're also proving extremely capable of performing a wide range of other tasks, and some believe LLMs will eventually form the foundation of the first artificial general superintelligence.

Technology can physically change our brains as it becomes an integral part of daily life – but every time we outsource a function, we risk letting our ability atrophy away. What happens when that ability is critical thinking itself? -
Every day new articles about "revolutionary breakthrough!" in AI hit my screen. The latest headline was "Torque Clustering" and "autonomous AI is on the horizon." But is it really? I did a deep dive with simple analogies to figure it out. -
US AI giants got a wake-up call this week when fledgling Chinese firm DeepSeek wiped a record-breaking trillion dollars off the value of heavyweights like Nvidia and OpenAI. The technology's gatekeepers are rattled – and they have good reason to be. -
As science wrestles with the thorny job of proving, defining and understanding human consciousness, one pioneering startup aims to apply cutting-edge theories of consciousness to AI models – and create the first sentient AI. This is wild stuff. -
The AI behavior models controlling how robots interact with the physical world haven't been advancing at the crazy pace that GPT-style language models have – but new multiverse 'world simulators' from Nvidia and Google could change that rapidly. -
Combining style and functionality, the Looktech smart glasses – with ChatGPT-4o, Gemini and Claude built in – take the emerging tech to a new personalized (and very useful) level. You can even equip them with prescription lenses at no extra cost. -
Three of America's leading AI companies have now signed up to share their technology with the US defence forces and military contractors, even after initially insisting they wouldn't – and the age of autonomous warfare seems close at hand. -
Every facet of AI feels like it's advanced by a decade in the last year, and in the whirlwind of new releases and capabilities, you may have missed something important: interactive video chatbots that can see, hear and converse with you in real time. -
Emerging startup Physical Intelligence has no interest in building robots. Instead, the team is powering the hardware with a foundational model AI 'brain', that enables existing machines to learn and dextrously perform many tasks – including housework. -
In a conversation with XPRIZE Founder Peter Diamandis, Musk laid out what he sees coming from the rising force of AI, while laying out a timeframe for SpaceX's first unmanned and manned Mars missions, and lots more. -
The next wave of game-changing AI models will soon be upon us – "agent" style models that'll be able to take over entire ongoing tasks and jobs with full autonomy. Anthropic's newest AI model gives us a sneak peek, by taking over your whole computer. -
The Toyota Research Institute has been doing some incredible work teaching robots to rapidly learn and perform tasks autonomously – now, it's bringing its Large Behavior Model tech to the extraordinary Atlas humanoid in partnership with Boston Dynamics.
