Fine-tuning is the process of taking a pre-trained foundation model and continuing to train it on a smaller, more specific dataset to adapt its behavior for a particular domain, task, or use case. Rather than training a model from scratch — which requires enormous resources — fine-tuning starts from a model that already understands language…
Multimodal describes an AI system or model that can process and generate more than one type of input or output, such as text, images, audio, video, or code. A multimodal model is not limited to a single data format. It can reason across multiple types at once, connecting information from an image and a text…
A foundation model is a large AI model trained on massive amounts of data that can be adapted for a wide range of tasks. Rather than being built for one specific purpose, it serves as a starting point that other products and applications can build on.
An AI model is essentially a mathematical system trained on data to recognize patterns and make predictions, decisions, or generate outputs. At its core, it’s a function that maps inputs to outputs.
