Hi ,

Welcome to the special edition of MobilePro where we make recommendations on the best resources. This week we discuss Large Language Models and why they should be your new BFFs!

The global LLM market is expected to grow from $1.59 billion in 2023 to $259.8 billion in 2030. In 2023, Claude 3 Opus was the top LLM tool with an average market share of 84.83%, followed by Gemini 1.5 Pro with an average of about 80%.

LLMs identify patterns in data and generate natural output. They also perform basic tasks with JSON format graphs, such as reading a value from a graph and you know this - you probably already make great use of them while developing your apps. LLMs are trusted comrades in your mobile and cross-platform apps battlefields! But we're taking another step forward.

By 2025, it's estimated that therewill be 750 million apps using LLMs and 50%of digital work is estimated to be automated through apps using these language models.

In the following sections we cover the latest news on LLMs and provide recommendations on resource that can help you get aboard the LLM bandwagon!

Thanks,
