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.

The terms the rest keep referring back to. Read these and most AI writing stops being opaque.
Overfitting
Overfitting is when a model memorizes its training data, including the noise, so it scores high on training data but fails on new, unseen data.
Data Poisoning
Data poisoning is a cyberattack where malicious actors insert corrupted or misleading data into an AI model's training set to manipulate its future.
Tensor Operations
The array manipulations — elementwise math, matrix multiplication, reshaping, broadcasting, reduction — that every neural network is built out of.
Distributed Training
How one model is trained across thousands of GPUs — data, tensor and pipeline parallelism, and why the network rather than the chip becomes the bottleneck.
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.
Parallel Processing
Running many computations at the same instant across many processing units. In AI it makes matrix multiplication fast, which is why GPUs train models.
