What Is Large Language Model (LLM)?
An LLM is an AI model trained on vast amounts of text that can understand and generate human language — LLMs like GPT-5.4, Claude, and Gemini power modern chatbots.
Definition
An AI model trained on vast amounts of text data that can understand and generate human language. LLMs like GPT-5.4, Claude, and Gemini power modern chatbots, enabling them to hold natural conversations, follow complex instructions, and reason about information.
Why Large Language Model (LLM) Matters for AI Chatbots
LLMs are the engines behind modern conversational AI. The three that matter for business chatbots are OpenAI's GPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini. Each has strengths — GPT is fast and broadly capable, Claude is strongest at grounded long-context answers, Gemini is cost-competitive. Chatonbo supports all three.

GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer)
GPT is a family of large language models developed by OpenAI that can understand and generate human-like text. Chatonbo supports GPT-5.4 as one of its model options.
Generative AI
Generative AI is a category of AI that creates new content — text, images, code — instead of just classifying or predicting from existing data.
Deep Learning
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning using neural networks with many layers to learn complex patterns from large data sets.
Hallucination
A hallucination is when an AI model generates information that sounds plausible but is factually incorrect — a key risk in generative AI chatbots, mitigated by RAG and strict prompts.
