🪄 Simple Definition:

A model is the AI’s “brain” — the system that has been trained to recognize patterns and generate answers.

🌟 Expanded Definition:

In AI, a model is a program created by training on large amounts of data. The model “learns” the relationships between words, numbers, or images so it can make predictions. For text models (like GPT), the model predicts the next most likely word to create coherent sentences. Different models are trained for different jobs: writing, recognizing images, or even playing games.

⚡ In Action:

When you use ChatGPT, you’re really using a GPT model that was trained to understand and generate human language.

💡 Pro Tip:

Think of a model as the recipe AI follows. The ingredients are the data, and the training process is the cooking. Better data and training = a smarter model
