In this chapter, we'll demystify language models. You'll learn:
- How language models work using intuitive analogies (no advanced math required)
- What language models can and can't do so you understand their strengths and limitations
- How to use a language model in code with a simple, practical Python example
By the end, you'll understand the core technology that powers every AI agent, and you'll have written code that actually calls a language model to generate text. This foundation will prepare you for everything that comes next: prompting, reasoning, tools, and all the other capabilities that transform a language model into a capable agent.
