LLM
A very large model trained on huge amounts of text to predict the next word, which lets it write, summarize, answer questions and follow instructions.
The Google for Developers Machine Learning Glossary says: "At a minimum, a language model having a very high number of parameters. More informally, any Transformer-based language model, such as Gemini or GPT."

- Foundation model is most often an LLM
- Reasoning model is one kind of LLM
