    What happens when you send a message to an LLM (the API call explained)

    Large Language Models are stateless prediction machines that lack memory between API calls. To create the illusion of conversation, the entire message history is sent with each API request in a messages array, where each message is labeled with a role (user, assistant, or system) to provide context the model cannot infer on its own.
