Look up any term in AI.
Definitions that explain the actual mechanism — not a paraphrase of the name. Written for people who have to build with this, or decide about it.
Glossary
256 terms, each with a worked definition, how it actually works, and where it breaks.

What each model is good at, what it costs per token, and when the size matters.

Longer pieces on the things a definition cannot hold: benchmarks, costs, and claims worth checking.

The terms the rest keep referring back to. Read these and most AI writing stops being opaque.
Random Forest (RF)
A random forest averages many decision trees, each grown on a bootstrap sample and split on a random subset of features, to cut variance without adding bias.
Guardrails
A guardrail is a deterministic check around a model that can block, rewrite, or force a retry — external code you can test, unlike prompting a model to behave.
AI Agent
An AI agent is an LLM-powered system that plans, calls tools, and acts autonomously in a loop to finish multi-step tasks — not just answer questions.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduces dimensions by projecting data onto orthogonal directions of maximum variance, ranked by the variance each keeps.
AI Architecture
How a production AI system is assembled: retrieval, context assembly, the model call, tool execution, validation, logging and evaluation.
Generative AI
Generative AI learns the probability distribution its training data came from, well enough to draw new samples from it — not just sort inputs into classes.
