AI concepts in pictures
The big map of AI
Every AI idea sits on one of six layers. Think of building a new employee: hire the brain, train it, give it senses and tools, check its work, then run the team. Tap any idea to open its lesson.
The model
What is the brain, and how did it learn?
- Tokens and context windowHow text is read, and how much fits
- AttentionHow each word looks back at the ones that matter
- Pretraining and feedbackHow a model learns language and manners
- Fine-tuning and LoRAExtra training on your own examples
- Distillation and quantizationMaking models smaller and cheaper
- Thinking modelsWhen to let the model think longer
Teach it your way
How do I make it fit my job and my facts?
Give it senses
Can it see, hear, speak and draw?
Let it act
How does it do things, not only say things?
Keep it honest and safe
How do I trust it, and what if it is wrong?
Run it for real
Which model, where, and what does it cost?
Learn it one layer at a time
The AI Concepts in Pictures course has a lesson for each layer, with a diagram in every lesson. No coding needed.
