Introduction to LLM
This page provides an easy-to-understand guide on LLMs (Large Language Models) from basics to applications for AI enthusiasts.
Chapter 5 — Input Validation and Output Filtering
Fifth post of the LLM Primer VII walkthrough. Input sanitization, structured guardrails (NeMo, Llama Guard 3, Lakera, Bedrock), and red teaming with Garak, PyRIT, and promptfoo.
2026-05-14Chapter 4 — Prompt Injection and Jailbreaks
Fourth post of the LLM Primer VII walkthrough. Prompt injection as a structural consequence, the jailbreak taxonomy (DAN, grandma, Zou et al. suffixes, Crescendo, Skeleton Key), and the four-layer mitigation matrix.
2026-05-13Chapter 13 — Frameworks and Cloud Integration
Fourteenth post of the LLM Primer IV walkthrough. Strands with Bedrock, the AWS state-layer pattern, the Microsoft Agent Framework, LangChain, Semantic Kernel — and the three production integration shapes teams keep arriving at independently.
2026-04-11Chapter 12 — Protocol Hardening and Defenses
Thirteenth post of the LLM Primer IV walkthrough. The four defense clusters — cryptographic attestation, OAuth scope discipline with bounded sessions, runtime sandboxing, and human-in-the-loop gates — compose into a posture that does not depend on the model behaving correctly under adversarial conditions.
2026-04-10Chapter 8 — How Models Learn
Eighth post of the LLM Primer II walkthrough. Why over-parameterized models generalize at all, the implicit bias of gradient-based optimization, the empirical scaling laws that forecast capability before training, and the open mathematical questions that still surround LLM theory.
2026-03-10Understanding LLMs – A Mathematical Approach to the Engine Behind AI
A preview from Chapter 7.4: Discover why large language models inherit bias, the real-world risks, strategies for mitigation, and the growing role of AI governance.
