What you'll learn
Understand what AI is fundamentally
Be able to explain succinctly the differences between LLMs, reasoning models, and other AI.
The mechanics of how models work
You'll learn how data becomes fully formed actions performed by a machine
How tokens work and their costs
Afterwards, you'll understand why certain actions cost more than others
Why this topic matters
AI is everywhere but most explanations bury you in jargon or oversimplify.
In 30 minutes, you'll know the real difference between an LLM, a reasoning model, and other AI; distinctions that matter when evaluating a tool. We'll walk through a visual of how a model turns data into action, built for life sciences and healthcare, plus why some AI tasks cost more and the token mechanics behind it. These are the foundations for what is to come next!
