Distillation, also known as model or knowledge distillation, is a process where knowledge is transferred from a large, complex AI ‘teacher’ model to a smaller and more efficient ‘student’ model. Doing this creates a much smaller model file which, while keeping a lot of the teacher quality, significantly reduces the computing requirements. As seen inUsing distillation is very popular in the open source community because it allows compact AI models to be deployed on personal computer systems.

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a form of artificial intelligence that plays a key role in the AI ecosytem due to its ability to analyze and understand visual data. The need to decipher and understand images and video material is a crucial part of making AI world aware. While the tech might sound complex, the concept behind it is relatively simple when broken down. You may likeWhat is Deep Learning? What is a Generative Adversarial Network? How does a CNN work?

Diffusion models exploded onto the world stage a mere two years ago. The technology had been around for a while, but it was only when we all experienced the revolution of AI image generation that it came into stark focus. Suddenly everyone and their dog could create astounding works of art simply by typing a prompt into a text box. But diffusion models are not just about art and image creation.

BERT stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. It is a type of deep learning model developed by Google in 2018, primarily used in natural language processing tasks such as text generation, question-answering, and language translation. Despite sharing core transformer technology, BERT operates in a completely way to GPT based AI systems from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. The key difference lies in two words, bidirectional and autoregressive.

Context windows are one of the most underappreciated parts of artificial intelligence systems, particularly when related to chat interfaces. These ‘windows’ temporarily store chat texts during our interaction with AI models. By storing chat messages in memory, the model can maintain a consistent understanding of the overall conversation. So, for example, an initial user request might be to find information on the population of Berlin, at which point the model will return the response.

Quantization is a method of reducing the size of AI models so they can be run on more modest computers. The challenge is how to do this while still retaining as much of the model quality as possible, in other words to prevent response errors or hallucinations. By shrinking the size with this technique, the models can be deployed on many more computing devices, such as home PCs, smartphones and even tiny appliances.
