Trained machine-learning systems that turn inputs into outputs: a prompt into an image, or a question into an answer. Examples range from image classifiers to large language models.
Previously, when I've worked with AI and machine learning models, it felt a bit like a black box—you train it and then you don't have much control over it. You don't really fully understand why it's producing certain inputs, which can sometimes produce interesting results.
