Agentic AI
Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems designed to act autonomously, make decisions, plan workflows, and execute tasks without constant human intervention. Unlike traditional models that only respond to queries, agentic systems use an agentic loop to perceive environments, reason over goals, use tools, and iterate to achieve outcomes.
LLM
A Large Language Model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence model trained on vast amounts of text data to understand, generate, and manipulate natural language. Built on the Transformer architecture, LLMs use billions of parameters to recognize semantic patterns and reasoning relationships.
