A Survey of LLM Surveys

Large language models (LLMs) are making sweeping advances across many fields of artificial intelligence. As a result, research interest and progress in LLMs have exploded. There are now hundreds of research papers on LLMs published in various conferences or posted to open-access archives every day. Given the significant growth in LLM-related papers, this work compiles surveys on LLMs to provide a comprehensive overview of the field. Most of these surveys have been published or posted in the past few years, so this collection is relatively new. We hope that our compilation can be helpful for people who want to get a quick understanding of the field.
