LLMs process questions via tokenization, embeddings, and attention

Large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot process user questions through a series of steps, beginning with tokenization and converting these tokens into numerical embeddings that represent their meaning. Positional encoding is added to maintain word order, followed by a self-attention mechanism that allows words to understand their context within the sentence. This process is enhanced by multi-head attention and feedforward neural networks, with multiple layers stacking to refine the model's understanding before it predicts a response token by token. The final output is then converted back into human-readable text. AI
