Please describe what in your mind a "LLM" is exactly, then describe what this person is building. To me this sounds like "He's not building a calculator, he's just building a program that can do addition, minus, multiplication and division and display the results".

Obviously it's not a Large Language Model, but to me this looks more like a LLM than not, given the architecture he's chosen. But again, maybe I misunderstand?
