Introduction

Modern AI models like GPT-4V, Claude, and Gemini can look at an image and describe it, answer questions about it, or reason about what's happening in it — all in natural language. These are called Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and they represent one of the most exciting frontiers in AI: teaching …

Introduction

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, Claude, and Gemini can write essays, answer questions, and even generate code. But how do they actually produce text? The process is surprisingly simple at its core, even though the models themselves are massive and complex. This post breaks it down in plain …

Introduction

When people talk about AI language models, the conversation is usually dominated by giants like GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini. But a quieter shift has been happening alongside these headline-grabbing models: the rise of Small Language Models (SLMs). In this post, we'll break down what separates SLMs from LLMs, when …
