LLM (Large Language Model)
What does it mean?
An LLM, or Large Language Model, is an AI model trained on huge amounts of text so that it can understand and generate language. It is the engine behind tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude: it repeatedly predicts the most likely next piece of text based on what it has learned.
An LLM does not 'know' facts like a database; it recognises patterns in language. That makes it strong at writing, summarising and rephrasing, but it can also state something incorrect with confidence. For reliable answers about your own information you therefore often combine an LLM with RAG.
Which LLM fits best depends on the task and your ecosystem. Our comparison puts the major platforms side by side.
