Key features of large language model software

LLM software typically includes features that help businesses process large amounts of information and answer complex questions about their market or company data. LLMs also generate intelligent, contextually relevant outputs in various formats, from coding and images to human-like textual responses. Since LLMs are generally meant to be “built-on-top-of,” their APIs and ability to integrate with other applications are also massively important to users.

Conversational AI chatbot

Most LLMs offer an AI chatbot, which understands and generates human-like responses based on user input and training data. These helpful chatbots continuously improve their performance — including their ability to follow your directions — by analyzing interactions and your satisfaction with them. Professionals generally use chatbots to quickly write content, conduct research, generate code, and analyze data.

Text summarization

Text summarization is a powerful capability of LLMs that can significantly reduce the time organizations spend reading and interpreting lengthy documents, such as legal contracts or financial ledgers. AI-based text summarization works by condensing these sections of text into concise representations while retaining the key information. Acting like an analyst, this feature can aid in decision-making by providing you with the most relevant details of long reports and studies. It can also help you create content based on the document, such as an abstract for a dense lab report.

Content generation

Marketers and small-business owners will likely find LLMs’ ability to generate content to be their most time-saving feature. Users can quickly produce sophisticated and human-like content by issuing specific prompts like “Write a witty social media caption to this image.” 

You can use LLMs to create email copy, social media posts, sales pages, product descriptions, and more. When writing with these tools, you should assume the role of editor, and add your own personality and insights; otherwise, the content may contain errors or fail to resonate with human readers.

Fine-tuning capability

Fine-tuning capability refers to an LLM’s ability to be customized for specific tasks or with domain-specific knowledge, with relatively small amounts of task-specific data.

For example, a SaaS brand using an LLM-powered customer chatbot notices the chatbot is struggling to answer questions about upgrade options for a specific product tier. The company then fine-tunes the LLM using a dataset containing transcripts of buyer interactions related to these specific upgrades, thus improving its performance.

Multimodality

In business, you often need to create more than just text. Multimodality refers to an LLM’s ability to understand and generate responses in other modalities such as code, images, audio, or video.

This opens up diverse opportunities for businesses to create applications that leverage multiple modalities, such as augmented reality (AR) experiences or interactive multimedia content. It also helps businesses engage with customers — imagine a chatbot that can analyze a photo of a broken product and then recommend solutions and steps to fix it in image and text.

APIs and third-party integrations

Third-party integrations and application programming interfaces are important features of LLMs because they enable seamless integration of language model capabilities into existing systems and applications, allowing businesses to leverage the power of natural language processing without having to develop their own models from scratch. To illustrate, businesses commonly integrate their LLM with their customer service platform to build smarter AI chatbots.

How to choose the best large language model for your business

The best LLMs typically offer streamlined content generation, text summarization, data analysis, and third-party integrations while also being highly customizable and accurate. That said, the ideal LLM software for your business is one that aligns with your particular needs, budget, and resources.

Before evaluating the LLMs, you should also identify the use cases that matter most to you so you can then find models designed for those applications. Do you value affordability the most? Do you need a robust feature list and have the budget to deploy it? Given the complexity of LLMs — including how rapidly the sector changes — extensive research is always required.
