Model weights

Fact

Numbers a model learns during training and uses to make answers.

In Plain Words

Model weights are like a taco seasoning packet. Same pan, new packet, totally different dinner.

They decide what the model knows and how it answers. In open-source AI, people often download this pack of numbers.
