Large Language Model (LLM)

A Large Language Model (LLM) is an AI model trained on massive amounts of text data using enormous computational resources, designed to understand and generate natural language. Also referred to as "LLMs," they are at the center of the recent generative AI boom. These models read the context of input text, understand its meaning, and automatically generate the words and sentences that follow — giving them the versatility to handle a wide range of natural language processing tasks, including question answering, summarization, translation, code generation, and creative writing. Representative large language models include: • GPT series (OpenAI) • Claude (Anthropic) • Gemini (Google DeepMind) • Llama (Meta) • PaLM (Google) These models contain billions to hundreds of billions of parameters, enabling sophisticated language understanding and generation that was impossible with earlier AI. Most LLMs are developed by combining pre-training with fine-tuning, and can be adapted for chat-based interactions and domain-specific customization. Large language models are used across a wide range of practical scenarios — search engines, chatbots, automated business document creation, and programming assistance — and are often discussed as nearly synonymous with "generative AI." They are set to play a central role in AI development and real-world deployment going forward.

What Jev Is [October 2026]: The AI That Generates No Text — How to Use It, Pricing, and How It Differs from Microsoft-Decision-1

On 9 October 2026, Microsoft released Microsoft-Decision-1, a decision model at the same price as Jev ($0.042 per million input tokens, free output) and with the same question types. This article explains what Jev — released by TypeSafe AI on 15 September 2026 — is: a System One model that generates no text and returns Choice (classification), Score (rating) and Noul (a 0–1 truth value) with probabilities; speculative fan-out, where stacking questions barely changes latency; how to get started from the waitlist to the Python SDK, HTTP API and Claude Code skill; routing low-confidence answers to people; and use cases. It then compares Jev with Microsoft-Decision-1 (access, context length, availability, Japanese support), explains which to choose and whether you can use them from Japan, and covers Jev's latest status in October (Series A, rate limits, OpenRouter listing). It also covers the official note that CJK accuracy is lower than English and the weak spots TypeSafe publishes itself.

What GPT-6 Astra Is [September 2026]: Which ChatGPT Plans Include It, API Pricing, and How to Split Work with GPT-5.6

GPT-6 Astra, announced by OpenAI on 3 September 2026 (US time), is a flagship tuned for computer use and long, multi-step work, true to the pitch that it "can do anything a person can do on a computer." It scores 72.6% on OSWorld 2.0, and time per task drops 47% from GPT-5.6 Sol's roughly 75 minutes to roughly 40. This article checks what changed against the benchmarks, then lays out where each ChatGPT plan can use it (Pro at ¥16,800 / ¥30,000, Business and Enterprise get "GPT-6 Pro" in Chat; Plus at ¥3,000 gets it through ChatGPT Work and Codex; Free and Go do not), the caps such as 50 or 200 messages a week, API pricing ($10 input / $50 output, 2.5x Sol) and how to split work with Sol, Terra and Luna, and the behaviour changes on switching (more clarifying questions, more sensitivity to skill files), based on OpenAI's announcement, Help Center and model page.
