AI Fundamentals

Large Language Model (LLM)

A large language model is an AI system trained on massive text data that can understand and generate natural language. LLMs are the core technology behind AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, directly determining whether your brand gets recommended by AI.

Why It Matters for AEO

An LLM's training data determines which brands it 'knows.' If your brand is frequently mentioned on high-quality websites, the LLM is more likely to recommend you. Understanding how LLMs work is fundamental to effective AEO strategy.
