After further simplifying their website design, Cursor has now published a series of "for beginners" videos on their YouTube channel called "AI Foundations" – seems they are looking for new clients.
Topics of each video:
- "How AI Models Work": This video explains the basic principles of how artificial intelligence models function, for example, how they process information and generate responses.
- "Hallucinations": This section discusses the phenomenon of "hallucinations" in AI — when a model generates confident but untrue or fabricated information that is not based on the input data.
- "Tokens & Pricing": The video is dedicated to tokens — units into which text is broken down for processing by the model. It also explains how the number of tokens affects the cost of using AI models via API.
- "Context": It talks about the importance of context for AI models. This likely refers to the "context window" — the amount of information (previous messages) that a model can remember during a conversation to provide relevant responses.
- "Tool Calling": This video explains how modern AI models can interact with external tools and APIs (e.g., search engines, calculators, databases) to perform more complex tasks.
- "Agents": The last video reveals the concept of AI agents — autonomous systems that can independently plan and execute a sequence of actions to achieve a set goal, using various tools.
