Agentic AI refers to systems that pursue goals with limited human supervision — perceiving their environment, planning multi-step actions, and using tools to carry them out. Read more →
Chatbots mainly respond to a prompt, while agents act: they plan, call tools, browse or operate software, and adapt as results come in — which is also why they need tighter guardrails. Read more →
A large language model is an AI system trained on vast amounts of text to predict and generate language, enabling it to answer questions, summarise, translate, and write code. Read more →
They learn statistical patterns in language during training, then generate responses one token at a time, guided by the prompt and by fine-tuning that steers them toward helpful, safe behaviour. Read more →
The transformer is the neural-network architecture behind modern language models, using an attention mechanism to weigh which words matter most in context. Read more →
Attention lets a model focus on the most relevant parts of its input when producing each output, which is what makes long, coherent text possible. Read more →
Training is the expensive phase in which a model learns from data; inference is the cheaper, everyday phase in which the trained model answers new prompts. Read more →
Inference is the act of running a trained model on new input to produce an answer — the phase that dominates real-world cost once a model is deployed at scale. Read more →
Fine-tuning adapts a general model to a specific task, domain, or style by continuing training on narrower, curated data. Read more →
RAG grounds a model's answers in retrieved documents, so it can cite current sources instead of relying only on what it memorised during training. Read more →
