A large language model (LLM) is an advanced AI system trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like language. It can write, summarize, translate, or answer questions across many topics. LLMs learn patterns in language rather than facts, which means their outputs can be insightful but occasionally inaccurate. Tools like Copilot are powered by LLMs. In education, LLMs can support writing, brainstorming, and tutoring, but they require critical use. Understanding how LLMs work helps educators and students use them responsibly and effectively in learning environments.
