1. How LLMs Work for Infrastructure Engineers

Large language models are probability engines that predict the next token in a sequence - not knowledge databases, not reasoning systems, and certainly not reliable sources of ground truth about your cluster state. Before you wire one into a Meshery workflow, you need a clear picture of the mechanism underneath.

This course strips away the marketing language and gives you the mental model that matters for ops work: how next-token prediction produces useful outputs, what tokens and context windows mean for how much infrastructure state you can pass in, where LLMs fail confidently and why that matters more than where they succeed, and how to match model capability to the actual task at hand - classification, generation, or structured reasoning.
