AI Agent
An AI agent combines a model, instructions, and optional tools to interpret goals and carry out actions.
View definitionArtificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence (AI) uses computational models to perform tasks such as prediction, pattern recognition and language processing.
View definitionDeep Learning
Deep learning trains neural networks with multiple layers to learn patterns and representations from data.
View definitionGenerative AI
Generative AI creates new content, such as text, images, audio, or code, using models trained on data.
View definitionGrounding AI
Grounding connects AI responses to relevant facts or retrieved sources to improve factual reliability.
View definitionJailbreak AI
An AI jailbreak attempts to bypass an assistant's instructions or safeguards through manipulated inputs.
View definitionMachine Learning
Machine learning trains models on examples to make predictions or classifications without explicitly programming each decision rule.
View definitionModel Context Protocol (MCP)
Model Context Protocol is an open protocol for connecting AI assistants to external tools, resources, and context providers.
View definitionNeural Network
A neural network is a layered computational model whose parameters are adjusted during training.
View definitionPrompt
A prompt is an instruction or input supplied to an AI model to guide the task and resulting output.
View definitionPrompt Engineering
Prompt engineering structures instructions and context to improve an AI model's responses for a particular task.
View definitionPrompt Injection
Prompt injection attempts to make an AI assistant follow malicious instructions embedded in lower-trust content.
View definitionSmall Language Model (SLM)
A small language model is a relatively compact language model suited to certain tasks with limited computing resources.
View definitionSystem Prompt
A system prompt defines an AI assistant's high-priority behavior instructions and operational constraints.
View definitionToken AI
A token is a unit of text used by a model's tokenizer to process inputs and generate outputs.
View definitionTool Calling AI
Tool calling allows an AI model to request operations from external functions or services through a defined interface.
View definitionVector Database AI
A vector database indexes numerical embeddings to retrieve content by semantic similarity.
View definitionVector Embedding
An embedding is a numerical vector representation of features from text, images, or other data.
