Glossary

A localized term, its English original, and a one-sentence definition. English names remain because documentation, papers, and error messages usually use them.

Sources

Official documentation, peer-reviewed papers, open benchmarks, standards, and risk catalogs. Everything in the original language. Footnotes in the lessons lead here.

What to read next

Documentation, tools, standards, and channels through which the area is actually updated. Without news noise and lists of trendy frameworks.

Axes along which everything changes

Not a list of commercial rates, but technical directions along which practice shifts. Each is related to a lesson.

Contract instead of agreementsThe response schema, tool invocation, and verifiable fields displace the parsing of free text.

Data is more important than the modelThe corpus, its relevance, and search within it define the system's ceiling more strictly than the class of the model.

Evaluation as part of the productThe evaluation set and the judge model turn edits from guessing into measurable work.

To the lesson →

Autonomy based on error costThe level of autonomy is chosen not by the beauty of the demonstration, but by the rollback cost.

To the lesson →

Memory has become a bottleneckBandwidth and memory capacity grow more slowly than arithmetic, and hence almost all modern engineering.

To the lesson →

Rack-scale co-designChip, network, power, and cooling have stopped being designed independently from each other.
