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.
Browse A–ZModels
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.
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
The architecture that assumes image features are local and position-independent — how the stack builds a hierarchy, and where CNNs still beat transformers.
Synthetic Data
Data generated by a model instead of collected from the world: what synthetic data is, where it helps, and why recursive use triggers model collapse.
Training
Training fits a model's parameters to data: forward pass, measure the loss, backward pass, nudge every weight downhill, repeat until the loss stops falling.
Agentic Workflow
An agentic workflow is a design pattern where an LLM plans, uses tools, and iterates in a loop to solve a task, instead of answering in a single shot.
Feature Selection (FS)
Which columns to keep and how to decide: filter vs wrapper vs embedded, why 2^n subsets rules out brute force, and the CV mistake that fakes accuracy.
Agent Memory
Agent memory is how an AI agent stores, retrieves, and summarizes information so it works across long tasks and sessions without overflowing its context window.
