- A generative approach (used in Stable Diffusion, Imagen, Sora) that produces images or video by iteratively denoising random noise.
- Few-Shot Learning
- Guiding a model with a handful of examples in the prompt to shape output format or reasoning — no retraining required.
- Image Generation
- Synthesizing images from text prompts (Midjourney, DALL·E, Imagen, Flux). Enterprise use: marketing, product design, synthetic training data.
- Latent Space
- The compressed internal representation where generative models operate; navigating it enables controllable generation and style transfer.
- One-Shot Learning

- Speech Synthesis (TTS)
- AI-generated speech from text, increasingly indistinguishable from human voices; the audio half of voice AI.
