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.
Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)
Two networks trained against each other: one invents data, the other judges it. The generator never sees a real example — only the judge's verdict.
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.
Prompt Caching
Repeated prompt prefixes bill at a fraction of the input price. How prefix matching works, what silently breaks it, and where the break-even sits.
Error Handling in AI Systems
Ordinary code fails by raising an exception. A model fails by returning a confident, well-formed, wrong answer that nothing catches. What to do about it.
Watermarking (SynthID)
AI watermarking hides a detectable signal inside model-generated text and images. How SynthID works, its robustness limits, and the EU AI Act rules.
Foundation Models
Not a marketing word for a big AI model: a foundation model is trained once on broad data and reused as the base for many downstream tasks.
