  • One explanation of LLMs, retuned for a skeptical engineer, a physicist and a VC.

    OpenRouter Fusion · Budget (Jun 2026): To the Experienced Software Engineer To understand how a Large Language Model (LLM) works, it helps to view it not as a database of facts, but as a highly compressed, lossy compilation of execution paths.

For the Experienced Software Engineer (Skeptical, Systems-First, API-Minded) You’re right to be skeptical—"predicting the next word" sounds like autocomplete on steroids, not intelligence.
