Abstract
Unlock the secrets of Large Language Models (LLMs) in this deep-dive session on LLM internals. We'll discuss what an LLM is and how it works, what part 'logits' play in LLMs and how we can leverage them for decision making. Next we will look at using GBNF to constrain output generation to specific formats. Finally we'll compare various models including ChatGPT and Llama, and open source front ends like text-generation-webui and LibreChat.
