Detailed Breakdown

Framework Layers

Layer 01 — Foundation

AI & ML

The foundational layer. Transforms raw data into decisions using classical machine learning, neural networks, attention, and language modeling.

NLPAttention Mechanisms Supervised LearningReinforcement Learning Transfer LearningLLMs
Layer 02 — Neural Depth

Deep Learning

Multi-layered neural networks for complex tasks. Powers language modeling, computer vision, multimodal generation, and reinforcement from feedback.
