Module 2 Wrap-up: The Engine Expert

You have looked "Under the Hood" of the world's most powerful computers. You know that LLMs aren't thinking in words; they are predicting Tokens based on Embeddings using a Transformer architecture.

Hands-on Exercise: The Model Comparison

The Goal

Identify the "Personalities" of different AI models.

Instructions

1. Go to a tool like LMSYS Chatbot Arena or open ChatGPT and Claude side-by-side.
2. Paste this exact prompt into both: "Explain the concept of 'Compound Interest' to a 10-year-old using a metaphor about magical gardening."
3. Analyze the results:
   • Which one used simpler words?
   • Which one had a better story structure?
   • Which one felt more "enthusiastic"?

Module 2 Summary

• LLMs are large-scale statistical predictors of text.
• Tokens (chunks of text) are transformed into Embeddings (vectors).
• Attention allows models to "focus" on relevant context across long documents.
• Hallucinations are a natural byproduct of statistical prediction.
• Different models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) have unique tradeoffs in logic and tone.

💡 Guidance for Learners

Now that you know how they work, you are ready to learn the most important skill in the GenAI world: How to talk to them.

Coming Up Next...

In Module 3, we master Prompt Engineering. We will learn how to write instructions that reduce hallucinations and guarantee high-quality results.

Module 2 Checklist

• I can define what a "Token" is.
• I understand that Embeddings are "Numbers that represent meaning."
• I can name 3 popular LLMs and their strengths.
• I have completed the prompt comparison exercise.
• I understand why models can confidently say things that are false.
