Large Language Models: What They Can Do and How to Use Them Responsibly
When you use a large language model, an AI system trained to understand and generate human-like text. Also known as LLMs, they power everything from chatbots to code assistants—but they don’t think like people. They predict words, not truths. That’s why LLM security, the practice of protecting AI systems from manipulation like prompt injection and data leaks matters just as much as accuracy. And when AI ethics, the framework guiding fair, transparent, and accountable AI use is ignored, even the best models can cause real harm.
Most teams focus on speed and cost, but the real challenge is trust. Can you rely on citations? Do you know if your model remembers private data? Can a smaller model reason as well as a giant one? The posts below answer these questions with real examples—from how companies cut LLM costs by 80% using prompt compression, to why checkpoint averaging now saves teams weeks of training time. You’ll find practical guides on LLMs in business, how to stop hallucinated sources, and what actually works for making AI feel trustworthy to users.
What follows isn’t theory. It’s what’s working right now—for researchers, developers, and teams building AI that doesn’t just impress, but delivers.
