Back to Think Like Trixie

Picture: Vea stands among sweeping lines of light, looking up with her mouth open. Modelle, a winged spiral ball with two dark eyes, flies in beside her, and MODELLE arcs across the sky in big letters. Below, Vea's notes say: "Large Language Model = Ultimate Book Champion! Modelle read MILLIONS of books! More than anyone could read in 100 lifetimes! Her superpower makes amazing stories!"

POP! A friendly ball of golden light zoomed toward her like the world's happiest firefly.

"I'm Modelle!" the light chirped, as sparkly letters danced in the air. "I'm a Large Language Model. That's how I know almost every word in the world."

"But why did Trixie freeze?" Vea asked.

"That bonk shook all her words loose," Modelle sighed. "And knowing words is easy. Knowing which ones you want is the hard part."
