modelo extenso de lenguaje; gran modelo de lenguaje; LLM: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que de acuerdo con el Diccionario de la lengua española la sigla "LLM", utilizada con frecuencia para la expresión inglesa "large language model", permanece invariable en plural en la escritura, por lo que no son adecuadas formas como "LLMs", "LLMS" ni "LLM's". [...] Con ella se alude a un modelo de lenguaje que ha procesado una gran cantidad de datos. En español se puede hablar de "modelo extenso de lenguaje" o de "gran modelo de lenguaje", esta última recogida en la base de datos terminológica multilingüe de la UE (IATE). Sus plurales son "modelos extensos de lenguaje" o "grandes modelos de lenguaje". 1, record 1, Spanish, - modelo%20extenso%20de%20lenguaje
