LLM (Large Language Model)

Factual Definition

A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence model trained on vast amounts of text data, designed to understand, generate, and process natural language by predicting the probability of sequences of words.

Peter V Jones Perspective on LLM

Peter Victor Jones deliberately separates the LLM itself from the products built on top of it (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode), the same instinct that shaped his view of SGE: chase the mechanism, not the product name. His mechanism claim is that a business optimising specifically "for ChatGPT" is targeting an interface, not the underlying model behaviour, and interfaces get renamed, redesigned, and replaced far more often than the fundamental way an LLM processes and weighs text. In his view, entity clarity, corroboration, and well-structured content work the same way regardless of which branded product happens to be the interface at any given moment.

How Peter V Jones Applies LLM

Peter applies this by building content and entity structures for ADI Leak Detection and the national home-services brand he directs marketing for around what any LLM-based system needs to trust and cite a source, rather than tailoring separately to ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini as if they were unrelated audiences. This is the same underlying discipline behind his wider AI SEO and GEO work: build for how language models retrieve and synthesise information generally, and the specific product interface becomes largely irrelevant.

Why Peter V Jones Perspective on LLM Matters

A great deal of current marketing advice is written product-by-product: "how to rank in ChatGPT," "how to appear in Perplexity," treating each as a distinct discipline. Peter's twenty years of watching search products rebrand around him, most recently through SGE's own short lifespan, gives him a grounded scepticism toward that approach and a preference for building once against the underlying model behaviour rather than repeatedly against whichever interface is currently popular.
