Multimodal Models: Architecture, workflow, use cases and development

Multimodal models are language models that take in images, video, audio and other data alongside text, built from an encoder, a fusion layer and a transformer backbone. This guide explains the three fusion designs in use, the stage-by-stage training workflow, where these models beat text-only LLMs, what they cost per visual token, and how to

WHAT IS EDGE AI?

Edge AI is machine learning that runs inference on or near the device producing the data, instead of sending every input to a cloud data center. That covers everything from a 100 kB wake-word model on a microcontroller to a 3B-parameter language model on a phone. Read on for how the pipeline works, what it

What is data compliance?

Data compliance is the practice of handling personal and sensitive data so that it meets every law, regulation, industry standard and internal policy that applies to it. That sounds simple until you count the rules: the GDPR, HIPAA, the CCPA, PCI DSS and the EU Data Act all ask for something different, and most mid-size

AI & Data Fundamentals

What is tokenization?

Tokenization is the step that converts raw text into a sequence of discrete units called tokens, each mapped to an integer ID, before a language model computes anything. Every prompt, every document, every bill you receive from an AI vendor passes through it first. This explainer covers how the main algorithms work, how GPT, Llama,

What Is Data Literacy? Definition, Skills and Why It Matters

Data literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, analyze, interpret and communicate data well enough to make sound decisions with it, without coding or advanced statistics. What that means in practice depends on who’s defining it, and the definitions disagree in ways that change what you’d teach, hire for, or test. This piece lays out
