Executive Summary
This report highlights the potential of large language models (LLMs), first brought to the mainstream by OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It details their inner workings and outlines how they can be integrated as agents within current technologies, data structures and industrial procedures, to create substantial market impact. We explore the Transformer architecture, its significance, and its limitations. Drawing upon meticulous analysis of recent academic research, commercial product launches, and contributions from the open-source AI community, this report guides readers through comprehensive explanations and intuitive graphical depictions of LLMs functioning as chatbots, reasoning companions, information retrieval systems and agent-style task completion aides. Our findings illuminate a future in which data management, machine learning and LLMs intersect to fuel unparalleled efficiency and innovation in the heavy industries sector.
