Introduction to Modern LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) are advancing at a pace we’ve never seen before. Every few months, a new model appears—faster, smarter, and far more capable than the last. But with so many updates, it’s easy to lose track of what’s new and what actually matters.
Why LLMs Are Evolving Faster Than Ever
Thanks to breakthroughs in scaling laws, multimodal training, and cheaper compute, AI companies can now train huge models in a fraction of the time it once took. This rapid innovation means the “latest” LLM list changes constantly.
What Counts as a “Latest” Model?
- A model is considered latest when it.
- Was released in the recent 12–18 months.
- Shows a measurable performance improvement.
- Introduces new architectures or multimodal abilities.
- Outperforms previous versions in reasoning or speed.
