LLM — A large language model — the neural network behind tools like Claude and ChatGPT, trained on huge amounts of text to predict what comes next.
inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
multimodal — A model that works with more than text — reading images, audio, or video, and sometimes generating them too.
