benchmark — A standard public test set for comparing AI models — the shared scoreboards behind every "model X beats model Y" claim.
multimodal — A model that works with more than text — reading images, audio, or video, and sometimes generating them too.
inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
