Review Training

Your draft is bound to this exact source hash. If the term changes, the Review Desk will use a new storage key instead of silently attaching old decisions.

Definition

Training is the phase where a model learns from data by updating its internal parameters.
Decision for Definition

Plain-Language Explanation

Training is the process that adjusts a model’s internal parameters using examples and an objective. Repeated updates make the model better at reducing its training loss for the selected task.
Decision for Plain-Language Explanation

Why It Matters

Training choices determine what behavior the model is rewarded for and what data it learns from. More training is not automatically better if the data or objective misses the real need.
Decision for Why It Matters

Example

A classifier processes a batch of labeled images, measures prediction loss, computes parameter changes, and repeats the cycle across many batches.
Decision for Example

Common Misconception

Training is not the same as giving a deployed model new information in a prompt. Prompt context affects a session; training changes model parameters.
Decision for Common Misconception

Remember It This Way

Training changes the parameters; prompting changes the immediate context.
