What is an LLM?
A large language model is a neural network trained on vast text corpora to predict and generate language. From this capability emerge writing, reasoning, code and tool use.
How to compare them
Beyond benchmarks, what matters: writing quality, reasoning, context window, speed, cost, and openness (proprietary vs open weights). See our detailed comparisons.
The current landscape
Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI) and Gemini (Google) lead on the proprietary side; Mistral, Llama, DeepSeek and Qwen push open source. Each has its strengths.
Frequently asked questions
What does LLM mean?
