For claim 1, Todisco et al. teaches:
A system, comprising: one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, the one or more processors configured to: maintain, in one or more data structures, data corresponding to a plurality of historical wager opportunities and a set of formatting instructions; generate, using the one or more data structures, a training dataset comprising at least one first training example including: (i) a respective input context comprising data of a first wager opportunity of the plurality of wager opportunities [receiving of training data for betting, 0011: Todisco], and (ii) a respective output message comprising display instructions for the first wager opportunity generated according to the set of formatting instructions [presenting bet from the training data output to user, 0011: Todisco]; and update a language model using the training dataset [large language model updated during training from dataset, 0058: Todisco].
For claim 2, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more data structures further comprise a plurality of deep links corresponding to a plurality of application interfaces of an application, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: generate the training dataset to comprise a second training example including: (i) a respective input context comprising data of a first deep link of the plurality of deep links [training data for secondary learning, 0018: Todisco], and (ii) a respective output message comprising second display instructions for the first deep link generated according to a second set of formatting instructions [present bet link to user, 0018: Todisco].
For claim 3, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 2, wherein the second set of formatting instructions are different from the first set of formatting instructions [other set of formatting, 0045: Todisco].
For claim 4, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: maintain a plurality of sets of formatting instructions, each set of the plurality of sets of formatting instructions corresponding to a respective type of wager opportunity, the plurality of sets of formatting instructions including the set of formatting instructions [sets of characteristics to use for betting, 0045: Todisco]; and select the set of formatting instructions from the plurality of sets of formatting instructions for the at least one training example based on a type of the first wager opportunity [selection from plural; bet options, 0046: Todisco].
For claim 5, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: generate the input context to include a prompt requesting a wager recommendation and data of the first wager opportunity selected based on the prompt [recommending bet to user based on interaction, 0034: Todisco].
For claim 6, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 5, wherein the data of the first wager opportunity corresponds to a first data structure format and the display instructions for the first wager opportunity correspond to a second data structure format [first and second embedding of bet, 0019-0021: Todisco].
For claim 7, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the first wager opportunity comprises a parlay wager opportunity comprising a plurality of legs, and wherein the display instructions are configured to cause presentation of a content item identifying the plurality of legs of the parlay wager opportunity [determining parlay opportunities for presentation, 0044: Todisco].
For claim 8, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the display instructions are configured to present a content item comprising an interactive element that, when interacted with, causes transmission of a request to place a wager corresponding to the first wager opportunity [interaction resulting in a bet, 0043-0044: Todisco].
For claim 9, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the display instructions comprise at least one identifier of a network location from which odds for the first wager opportunity are to be retrieved [network connection information providing identity, 0037: Todisco].
For claim 10, Todisco et al. teaches:
The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: update the language model to generate at least one token identifying a start position of the display instructions in output generated by the language model [tuning of large language model and the series, 0056: Todisco].
