Abstract “LLM play a big role are they how generate AI is improving today.” Their success is highly attributed to the Transformer architecture, which uses self-attention mechanisms and large-scale training corpora to model complex linguistic dependencies and long-range relationships. This review synthesizes the theoretical foundations that underpin LLM design, emphasizing the role of self-attention in contextual understanding and outlining the structural distinctions between encoder–decoder systems and modern decoder-only generative models. The paper further investigates practical applications of LLMs across domains such as content production, conversational systems, decision support, and specialized analytical workflows. Despite their capabilities, LLMs face persistent challenges including hallucination, context limitations, computational demands, and issues of trustworthiness. People are concerned that the system might be unfair or biased, fairness, transparency, and interpretability continue to influence are they deployment take decisions. Looking ahead, the field is shaped by emerging trends including multimodal expansion, efficiency-oriented model compression, retrieval-augmented techniques for factual grounding, and the development of agentic systems capable of autonomous task execution. While LLMs hold transformative potential, realizing their long-term societal benefits requires continued progress toward more reliable, efficient, and ethically aligned systems.
