open weights — A model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.
mixture-of-experts — A model built from many specialist sub-networks where only a few activate per token, giving big-model capability at small-model running cost.
fine-tuning — Taking a trained model and training it a bit more on your own examples so it gets better at one specific job.
inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
