thanks for the explanation, I'm still not sure what "weights" are here, but I'm also not sure I want to know anything more about LLMs than I already unfortunately do, so I won't ask you to explain it. :P
LLMs are basically large matrices of parameters called weights. It's more complicated than that, but the weights are the parameters. Those embedded decimal numbers that get adjusted during training.
