John Ewald from Google Cloud explains that large language models (LLMs) are a subset of deep learning, intersecting with generative AI. LLMs are versatile models trained for general language tasks and can be fine-tuned for specific applications. The concept is broken down into three key features: "Large" refers to both the extensive training data and parameter count, "general purpose" indicates their suitability for common language problems, and "pre-trained and fine-tuned" describes the process of initially training on a broad dataset and then refining for specific tasks using smaller datasets. The benefits of using such models are highlighted.
