this was based on the brilliant textbook:. "Foundations of Large Language Models" by Tong Xiao and Jingbo Zhu (NiuTrans Research Lab). arxiv: highly recommend it if you're serious about understanding LLMs deeply.

So how do LLMs really work?. Trained on massive text. Predict the next word millions of times. Use Transformers to encode dependencies. Adapt via prompting or fine-tuning. Aligned to human preferences. Served with smart inference.

Inference how the model runs is just as important as training. To serve real-time outputs, we use tricks like:. → Top-k / nucleus sampling.→ Caching past tokens.→ Batching requests.→ Memory-efficient attention. These make LLMs usable at scale.

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). Feed the model good human responses. Let it learn how we want it to reply. RLHF (Reinforcement Learning w/ Human Feedback). Train a reward model to prefer helpful answers. Use it to steer the LLM. This is how ChatGPT was aligned. RLHF is powerful.

But raw intelligence isn’t enough. We need models to align with human goals. That’s where alignment comes in. It happens in two major phases after pretraining 👇.

This is all possible because of the way these models are trained: predict the next word over and over until they internalize language structure, reasoning patterns, and world knowledge. It's not magic. it's scale.
