Glossary
Beginner ai
AI Agent
An AI agent is a system that uses an LLM to autonomously plan, make decisions, use tools, and take actions to complete a goal.
Intermediate ai
AI Alignment
The challenge of ensuring AI systems behave in ways that match human intentions, values, and goals.
Beginner ai
AI Hallucination
When an AI model generates confident-sounding but factually incorrect or fabricated information.
Beginner ai
AI Wrapper
An AI wrapper is a product built on top of a foundation model API with a custom UI, workflow, or niche focus, rather than novel AI model development.
Beginner ai
Context Window
The maximum amount of text an LLM can process in a single interaction - inputs plus outputs combined.
Beginner ai
DeepSeek
A Chinese AI lab and open-source model family that trained frontier-level LLMs at a fraction of Western competitors' reported costs.
Intermediate ai
Fine-Tuning
Fine-tuning adapts a pre-trained LLM to a specific task or domain by continuing training on a curated dataset of examples.
Beginner ai
Foundation Model
A foundation model is a large AI model trained on broad data at scale, designed to be adapted to many downstream tasks rather than one specific use case.
Intermediate ai
Inference
Inference is the process of running a trained AI model on new inputs to generate predictions or outputs, as opposed to training the model on data.
Beginner ai
Multimodal AI
AI models that can process and generate multiple types of data - text, images, audio, and video - within a single system.
Beginner ai
Open Source AI
AI models whose weights, architecture, and training details are publicly released - enabling free use, modification, and self-hosting.
Beginner ai
Prompt Engineering
Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting LLM inputs to reliably produce accurate, useful, and correctly formatted outputs for a given task.
Beginner ai
Qwen
Alibaba's open-source large language model family - multilingual, high-performing, and available in sizes from 0.5B to 72B parameters.
Intermediate ai
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
RAG is an AI architecture that combines a retrieval system with an LLM, giving the model access to external knowledge at query time.
Beginner ai
Token (AI)
A token is the basic unit of text an LLM processes - roughly 3–4 characters or 0.75 words - used to measure input length, output length, and API cost.
Intermediate ai
Zero-Shot Learning
An AI model's ability to perform a task it was never explicitly trained on, guided only by a natural language description.
