Modern LLMs use transformer neural network architectures. **Parameters** The adjustable values within a neural network that are tuned during training. Generally, models with more parameters have higher capabilities, but this isn't always the case. **Prompt** The input text provided to an AI model to elicit a response. Effective prompting is crucial for getting desired results from LLMs. **Prompt Engineering** The practice of designing effective prompts to guide AI models toward providing desired responses or performing specific tasks. **Tokens** The basic units that language models process, typically representing parts of words, whole words, or characters.

Models like Mistral Small (Mixtral 8x7B) use this approach. **Prompt Injection** A security concern where malicious prompts attempt to override a model's instructions or guidelines. Strong system prompts and guardrails help prevent this. **RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)** A technique that enhances language model responses by retrieving relevant information from external sources (like documents or knowledge bases) before generating the response. **Sparse Models** Models that activate only a small portion of their neurons for any given input, often resulting in greater efficiency. MoE models like Mixtral are examples of sparse models. **Temperature** A parameter controlling randomness in model outputs. Lower values (approaching 0) produce more deterministic, focused responses, while higher values produce more creative, varied outputs. **Top-k Sampling** A text generation method where the model selects the next token from only the k most likely possibilities, helping balance creativity and coherence. **Top-p Sampling (Nucleus Sampling)** A text generation method where the model considers only the most likely tokens whose cumulative probability exceeds a threshold p, dynamically adjusting the candidate pool size. **Vector Database** A specialized database optimized for storing and retrieving vector embeddings, used in RAG systems to find relevant information based on semantic similarity. **Vector Embedding** A numerical representation of text that captures semantic meaning in a high-dimensional space, allowing for similarity comparisons between different pieces of text. ### 15.4.
