Inference
Inference is the process by which an AI model analyzes and evaluates new input based on what it has learned, and generates answers or predictions.
How it works
In AI, inference specifically refers to the stage after training when a model processes user requests and produces output in real-world use. This process consumes computing resources, and its speed and efficiency are key measures of an AI service's usability.
Examples
- 1.When you ask ChatGPT a question and get a response, inference is running behind the scenes.
- 2.When your phone's photo gallery automatically recognizes people or objects in pictures, it relies on the inference capabilities of AI models.
- 3.Smart customer service finds the most relevant answer in its knowledge base based on your question and replies to you.
