An AI teacher that walks you through learning something at your own pace.
Mentor
A guide who gives advice — and yes, AI can play that role too.
Claude
Anthropic's family of AI assistants, known for safety, long context, and coding skill.
GAIA
A benchmark for general AI assistants, with multi-step real-world questions.
Instruction tuning
Fine-tuning a base model on instruction-following examples so it behaves like an assistant.
Codestral
Mistral's code-focused open-weights model, popular for self-hosted coding assistants.
Preference data
Pairs of responses where a human (or AI) says which is better — fuel for RLHF and DPO.
BPE
Byte-pair encoding — a common tokenization method that merges frequent byte pairs into tokens.
Reply
Another word for the AI's response in chat.
Speech
Spoken words. AI can turn speech into text, and turn text into speech.
Creative
Making new stuff that's interesting, original, or fun.
Pre-training
The big, expensive training stage where a model learns from huge amounts of raw data.
RLHF
Reinforcement learning from human feedback — how chatbots are taught to be helpful and polite.
SFT
Supervised fine-tuning — training a model on labeled examples of good answers.
System prompt
Instructions set by the developer that tell the AI how to behave in a chat.
Text-to-speech
Converting written text into spoken audio.
Long-term memory
Info the AI keeps between sessions — facts about you, past conversations, saved notes.
Iterated amplification
Training AI by having the model plus a human decompose and solve problems together.
Groq
Custom-silicon inference provider competing on tokens-per-second and latency.
Induction-head circuit
A specific pair of attention heads across layers that enables in-context pattern copying.
Golden dataset
A small, hand-curated set of input-output pairs treated as ground truth for evaluation.
Aider
An open-source command-line coding agent that pair-programs with you over a Git repo.
Story
A narrative — a tale with characters and events. AI is great at drafting them.
Agentic AI
AI that plans and acts over many steps, using tools to get things done.
Elo rating
A chess-style rating system used to rank AI models from pairwise comparisons.
