the 8 most important model types and what they’re actually built to do: ⬇️

1. 𝗟𝗟𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Your ChatGPT-style model.
Handles text, predicts the next token, and powers 90% of GenAI hype.
🛠 Use case: content, code, convos.

2. 𝗟𝗖𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Lightweight, diffusion-style models.
Fast, quantized, and efficient — perfect for real-time or edge deployment.
🛠 Use case: image generation, optimized inference.

3. 𝗟𝗔𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Where LLM meets planning.
Adds memory, task breakdown, and intent recognition.
🛠 Use case: AI agents, tool use, step-by-step execution.

4. 𝗠𝗼𝗘 – 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀
→ One model, many minds.
Routes input to the right “expert” model slice — dynamic, scalable, efficient.
🛠 Use case: high-performance model serving at low compute cost.

5. 𝗩𝗟𝗠 – 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Multimodal beast.
Combines image + text understanding via shared embeddings.
🛠 Use case: Gemini, GPT-4o, search, robotics, assistive tech.

6. 𝗦𝗟𝗠 – 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Tiny but mighty.
Designed for edge use, fast inference, low latency, efficient memory.
🛠 Use case: on-device AI, chatbots, privacy-first GenAI.

7. 𝗠𝗟𝗠 – 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ The OG foundation model.
Predicts masked tokens using bidirectional context.
🛠 Use case: search, classification, embeddings, pretraining.

8. 𝗦𝗔𝗠 – 𝗦𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Vision model for pixel-level understanding.
Highlights, segments, and understands *everything* in an image.
🛠 Use case: medical imaging, AR, robotics, visual agents.
