Parameters

Parameters are the adjustable values within an AI model that are learned from data during training. In neural networks, these are primarily the weights of connections between neurons. The number of parameters roughly indicates the "size" and capacity of a model – a 70-billion-parameter model can learn more complex patterns than one with 7 billion, but also requires more computing power.
