Deep in the digital architecture of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, a vast network of numbers silently shapes every response, prediction, and interaction we have with AI. These numbers, known as parameters, are the fundamental building blocks that determine how AI models like ChatGPT process and generate information.
Parameters are the adjustable values an AI system uses to make decisions — similar to how neurons in the human brain form connections to process information. When you see ChatGPT compose a poem or GPT-4 solve a complex math problem, you’re witnessing the coordinated dance of hundreds of billions of these parameters working in concert.
At their core, parameters represent the learned patterns and relationships within an AI model. In the context of...
