# Lesson Question answered
1 AI, ML, deep learning, and generative AI What belongs inside “AI”?
2 Data, training, validation, and inference How does a model learn and later produce output?
3 Neural-network basics What do weights, layers, loss, and gradients do?
4 Transformers and attention Why did transformers change language modeling?
5 Tokens, embeddings, and context What does the model actually receive?
6 Generation, decoding, and hallucinations Why can plausible text be wrong?
7 Model families and multimodality How do text, vision, audio, and specialist models differ?

Exit check: explain the difference between a model, an application, and a harness without using the word “AI” as the definition.
