The AI Model Ecosystem
An AI model is a program that has been trained on a set of data to recognize certain patterns or make decisions. Think of it as the “brain” behind the AI applications you use every day. To process all of this information, models break data down into AI Tokens. Today, there are several powerful AI models available in the market across different categories.
