AI engineering has its own language. Half the battle when you're starting out isn't the math or the code — it's the vocabulary. This is a beginner-friendly glossary of 300 terms, organized into 12 categories of 25 terms each, so you can look things up fast or just read through and level up your fluency.

No fluff, just definitions you can actually use.
