AI Optimization
Noun · AI & Machine Learning
Definitions
The process of improving an AI system's quality, latency, cost, or reliability through changes to prompts, models, retrieval, infrastructure, or evaluation. AI optimization is rarely about a single knob because multiple constraints usually trade off against each other.
In plain English: Improving an AI system so it performs better or costs less.
Example: "Their biggest AI optimization win came from shortening retrieved context instead of switching models."
