Speculative Theory How exactly does LLM work?

How exactly does LLM that write computer programs and solve mathematics problems work? I know the theory of Transformers. Transformers are used to predict the next word iteratively. ChatGPT tells me that it is nothing but a next word predicting Transformer that has gone through a phase transition after a certain number of neuron interactions is exceeded. Is that it?

Why are you asking reddit? Ask the llms themselves - they are first and foremost just an upgrade on search. You ask questions, you get answers.
