ExplAIners
New to AI? Start here. Short, plain-language explainers on the key topics, what they mean and why they matter for development. Read them in order, or jump to the one you need.
- 1Language modelsWhat large and small language models are, how they work, and how to choose between them.
- 2ChatbotsHow chatbots have moved from scripted menus to AI-generated answers, and where they help in development.
- 3Agentic AIWhat AI agents are, how they differ from chatbots, and why more autonomy means more responsibility.
- 4Open weight modelsWhat it means when a model's weights are free to download, and why that matters for cost, control and local languages.
- 5Sovereign AIWhat it means for a country or organisation to control its own AI, and why it's more than where the data is stored.
