Model
What is Model?
In AI, a mathematical structure — typically a neural network — that has been trained on data to perform a task. Colloquially, "the model" refers to the AI system you are interacting with, such as GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
Example in practice
When a team debates whether to use GPT-4o or Claude for their new workflow, they are choosing between two different models — each with different capability profiles, pricing, and context window sizes.
