Words of the day

Reinforcement learning
Training by trial and reward: the model tries, is scored on the result, and gradually does more of what scored well.
Small language model
A language model small enough to run cheaply or on a phone or laptop, usually trained for narrower jobs.
Knowledge cutoff
The date after which a model knows nothing, because its training stopped there.
For today
