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.
AI Energy Consumption
How much energy an AI query really uses, how training compares with serving, and how to read the numbers without believing either the hype or the panic.
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.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
A technique that retrieves relevant documents at query time and feeds them into a language model's prompt, so it answers from current, external facts.
One-shot Learning
Learning a new class from exactly one example — and the split that matters: one-shot prompting updates no weights; classical one-shot training does.
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)
How RLHF works, how it compares with DPO and GRPO, and why it makes language models verbose, agreeable and confidently wrong.
Trust
Trust in AI is a person's willingness to rely on a system's output; the aim is calibration — trusting it as much as its real reliability deserves.
