Artificial Intelligence (AI): The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems, encompassing learning, problem-solving, and perception.
Large Language Model (LLM): A type of AI algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and vast datasets to understand, generate, and manipulate human language.
Open Weight Models: AI models where the numerical parameters (weights) that define the model's learned knowledge are publicly accessible, promoting transparency and collaborative research.
Mixture of Experts (MoE): A neural network architecture that combines multiple specialized subnetworks ('experts') to process different parts of an input, enhancing efficiency and performance.
