Tip
Tip
LLMs are most valuable for tasks that involve generating, transforming, or analyzing text. They are not suitable for tasks requiring real-time data, precise arithmetic, or actions in the physical world. The most effective applications combine an LLM with other tools: for example, an LLM that can call a calculator API for math, or search the web for current information.
