# Large Language Models **Entity class:** Technology, method, or technical system **Domain:** Machine Learning / Natural Language Processing **Doc Type:** Model Class **Maturity:** Developed **Related:** [[Transformer Models]], [[Generative AI]], [[Self-Reference]], [[Gödelian Analogy]], [[wiki/Bauhaus Architects of AI|Bauhaus Architects of AI]] ## Definition Large language models are high-capacity statistical models trained on large text corpora to predict and generate linguistic sequences. ## Bauhaus Architects Context They can generate self-descriptions without thereby possessing transparent access to their own implementation or subjective experience. ## Backlinks - [[wiki/Bauhaus Architects of AI|Bauhaus Architects of AI]] - [[articles/Bauhaus Architects of AI|Bauhaus Architects of AI]] ## Relationships <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry is routed through [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]], [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]], and [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]].
