Inference

Domain: LLM Concepts

🎯 Motivation

Using a trained model to generate output is called inference. This is different from training, which is the learning phase.

πŸ“‹ Concrete Example

When you type a question to ChatGPT and it responds - that’s inference. The model uses its learned parameters to predict the answer. No learning happens during inference.

πŸ”— Analogy

Taking a final exam - you studied for months (training), but during the exam (inference) you just use what you learned. No new learning happens during the exam.
