How Does ChatGPT Work? A Guide for the Rest of Us

This Product Talk article explains how large language models like ChatGPT work. It breaks down the process into three parts: 1) The input - how your prompt is converted into tokens and embeddings that the model can process. 2) The black box - how the model uses attention and transformer blocks to understand context and generate a response. 3) The output - how the model predicts the next token based on the enriched embedding of the last token. The article aims to demystify the technology behind large language models and help readers better understand their strengths and weaknesses.
