Edit to add: I know I'm not replying to the bad mansplainer.

LLM != TSR

Do people even use TSR as a phrase anymore? I don't really see it in use much, probably because it's more the norm than exception in modern computing.

TSR = old techy speak, Terminate and Stay Resident. Back when RAM was more limited (hey and maybe again soon with these prices!) programs were often run once and done, they ran and were flushed from RAM. Anything that needed to continue running in the background was a TSR.

Please tell me why you believe that the LLM keeps being executed on your chat even when the response is complete.

I was agreeing with you, it doesn't.

Ohh, that makes sense.

I wouldn't have gotten that abbreviation without the explainer. Good on you for explaining it. Never heard it working in tech.

It is of the deep magics from the before times.

The days of DOS.
