Highlights

• Explainers, primers and context for the AI topics in the news: how models are built, trained, run and measured, written for readers who want the mechanics behind the headlines.

  The collection focuses on mechanics rather than headlines.

• Training creates or adapts the model, while inference puts that model to work.

  A compact distinction between two core concepts.
