Generative AI fundamentals

This video introduces the concept of generative AI, focusing on its ability to create new content rather than just analyzing what already exists. We walk through how large language models (LLMs) like Claude actually work and the technological journey that made them possible, from algorithmic breakthroughs like the transformer architecture to vast training datasets and powerful computing. We also explain how these systems learn through pre-training and fine-tuning and discuss concepts like context windows and emergent capabilities.
