How LLMs Work Intermediate 3 min read Published
In this lesson

Computers can’t compare meanings directly. “Car” and “automobile” share no letters, yet mean the same. Embeddings solve this: they turn each word, sentence or document into a list of numbers (a vector) so that similar meanings get similar numbers.

Every modern AI app uses them: search that understands meaning, recommendations, RAG chatbots over your documents, duplicate detection.
