LLM

A large language model learns patterns from very large text collections to predict and generate language. It can answer from its parameters or connect to search, RAG and external tools.

What Large language model means in GEO

This concept helps explain what is being optimized and how search changes when an AI system writes the answer.

Why it matters

Distinguish what the model recalls from training from what it retrieves live, because they require different visibility strategies.

What to check in practice

Record which product, engine and answer type you are observing. The same term can cover different surfaces unless it is scoped.

How it connects to other concepts

Large language model belongs to geo fundamentals. It is best analyzed alongside related terms because AI visibility depends on several stages and signals rather than one isolated optimization.

Common mistake

Using it as a new label for SEO without explaining what changes in retrieval, generation or measurement.
