APPENDIX · THE WORDS
Ten words that cover most of it.
Model The AI program that guesses the next word (or pixel, or note).
Agent A model given tools, so it can do several steps instead of only chatting.
MCP A plug that lets a model use a tool (files, mail, a calendar) instead of only talking about it.
Token A small piece of text. Prices and context limits are usually counted in tokens, not pages.
Weights The trained numbers inside a model. Open weights can be downloaded; closed weights stay with the company.
API A documented way for software to send a job to a model and get the result back.
SOTA State of the art: the best measured result on a given test, on the day it was measured.
ARC-AGI A public reasoning test made of small visual puzzles. It is designed so that memorising the training data does not help.
SDK Software development kit: the set of ready-made pieces a company publishes so other programmers can build on its product.
WebGPU A recent web standard that lets a page use the computer’s graphics card directly, for 3D scenes and for calculation.
