Working with texts

Updated this week

Le Chat, powered by a Large Language Model (šŸ”Ž LLM), is primarily designed to process and generate text at human-like level.

Let’s explore how to query le Chat with three simple examples.

Simple text query

For straightforward questions or conversations, just type your query and le Chat will provide a detailed answer. It could range from general knowledge to specific information.

For example, I want to understand what a Large Language Model is, but I don’t want to read a long article. I just need a simple explanation.

One useful trick is to ask le Chat to explain it ā€œlike I am a 5 years oldā€. Le Chat will adapt its tone and give you a simple answer.

So I type:

What's an LLM? Explain it to me like I'm 5.

Le Chat provides a simple answer

šŸ”‘ Le Chat does not use a search engine. Instead, it relies on its training data to answer your query. Depending on your question, some answers may not be up-to-date or fully accurate. Activating the search engine will help you get more accurate answers.

Le Chat has been trained on a vast amount of data, including books, articles, and websites. It can generate all sort of text based on the input you provide, such as essays, stories, emails, meetings minutes, and more.

Translate everything!

Need to translate something into another language? LLM can help with that too!

Simply type the text and ask le Chat to translate it for you. You’ll get an accurate translation that’s easy to understand.

For example, let’s try to translating the opening lines of the famous Italian epic poem Divine Comedy:

Translating from Italian to English

No problem for le Chat, fluent in many languages. Here’s the result:

Le Chat translates the text

šŸ“Œ Note that we didn’t provide any context for the extract. Le Chat recognizes the source material, automatically detects the language and uses its training data to translate it to English in real time.

As of today, le Chat supports many languages, including but not limited to:

  • English

  • French

  • Spanish

  • German

  • Italian

  • Portuguese

  • Dutch

  • Russian

  • Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)

  • Japanese

  • Arabic

  • Hindi

  • Turkish

  • Korean

  • Polish

  • Indonesian

  • Swedish

  • Danish

  • Norwegian

  • Finnish

  • Greek

  • Czech

  • Hungarian

  • Romanian

  • Thai

  • Vietnamese

  • Ukrainian​

Can it do math?

Got a math problem? You can ask le Chat to compute a solution and even get a Python-generated visualization for better understanding.

In this example, I need to compute an integral. I type:

Querying le Chat for a math problem

And le Chat provides me with a step-by-step solution:

Even better, I can ask le Chat to generate Python code to visualize the result:

The code is generated, executed, and the result is displayed:

šŸ”‘ By design, le Chat doesn’t compute math problems with numbers. Instead, it uses probabilistic models to generate a textual solution, which can sometimes lead to inaccurate results. Using Python code to compute the result is a great way to verify accuracy.

Next steps

As we’ve seen, le Chat is a powerful tool for text processing and generation. It can be used for a wide range of tasks, from simple text queries to complex math problems.

But did you know that le Chat can also generate images? Let’s take a look at that in the next section.
