GPT-6 Luna Pro892 words
For an experienced software engineer Think of a language model as a system trained to continue sequences: given a prefix of text, it assigns probabilities to possible next tokens (tokens are pieces of words, not necessarily whole words) and learns to make the observed continuation likely.
