Let’s trace this fascinating journey from 2017 to today.</p>https://samarthya.me/posts/language-model/Sat, 31 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000https://samarthya.me/posts/language-model/<figure><img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="auto" alt="" width="600" height="600" src="https://samarthya.me/posts/language-model/transformer1.png" srcset="https://samarthya.me/posts/language-model/transformer1.png 800w, https://samarthya.me/posts/language-model/transformer1.png 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 65vw" data-zoom-src="https://samarthya.me/posts/language-model/transformer1.png"></figure> <p>Think of a language model as a really sophisticated autocomplete system. You know how your phone suggests the next word when you’re texting? A language model works on that same principle, but at a much more advanced level.</p>https://samarthya.me/posts/two-students-two-talents-the-story-of-how-ai-learns-language/Sat, 31 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000https://samarthya.me/posts/two-students-two-talents-the-story-of-how-ai-learns-language/<figure><img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="auto" alt="" width="600" height="600" src="https://samarthya.me/posts/two-students-two-talents-the-story-of-how-ai-learns-language/auto-2.png" srcset="https://samarthya.me/posts/two-students-two-talents-the-story-of-how-ai-learns-language/auto-2.png 800w, https://samarthya.me/posts/two-students-two-talents-the-story-of-how-ai-learns-language/auto-2.png 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 65vw" data-zoom-src="https://samarthya.me/posts/two-students-two-talents-the-story-of-how-ai-learns-language/auto-2.png"></figure> <p>Remember how we compared a language model to an advanced autocomplete system? Well, here’s where the story gets interesting. Not all language models learn the same way. Imagine two students sitting in the same classroom, both brilliant, but each taught to master language through completely different methods. One becomes an incredible writer, the other becomes an exceptional reader. This is the tale of auto-regressive and auto-encoding models.</p>
