What component of an AI system must I choose, connect, or operate?

Choose the branch that matches your decision, then choose the relevant article. The destinations are alternatives and references, not a mandatory reading sequence.

Start: Choose Your Decision

If you are unsure, begin with the first branch and state the outcome you need before selecting a method or tool.

Assistants and hosted model families

Question: Do you need an end-user assistant or a model-facing service?

For interactive work, compare assistants on your own tasks. For application integration, check the model interface, access terms and operational requirements.

Article destinations: Narrow the choice: Which group matches your input or development environment?

Models, providers and model families

Interactive assistants and companion experiences

Checkpoint: Test the same task on candidate systems; verify current availability and terms.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Libraries and programming tools

Question: Are you implementing a model, an application, or an analysis workflow?

Choose the language and deployment environment first, then compare compatible libraries. Existing library articles may describe historical tools; verify maintenance before adoption.

Article destinations: Narrow the choice: Which group matches your input or development environment?

Machine-learning libraries and platforms

Language-specific and desktop programming

Experimentation, serving and lifecycle tools

JavaScript and browser tools

Language, retrieval and knowledge tools

Checkpoint: Build a minimal example with the intended runtime and dependency versions.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Local, cloud and hardware environments

Question: Where must computation run?

Use local or edge environments when control, connectivity or latency requires it. Compare hosted infrastructure when managed operations or scale matter.

Article destinations:

Checkpoint: Verify memory, acceleration, connectivity, access and cost constraints.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Integration and data services

Question: What must communicate with the AI component?

Identify documents, databases, APIs, events and message queues. Choose the interface and failure behavior before a product.

Article destinations:

Checkpoint: Demonstrate a complete request, response and failure-recovery path.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Model adaptation and compression

Question: What prevents the current model from meeting requirements?

Improve prompts or retrieval for missing context; consider transfer or fine-tuning for specialized behavior; examine compression for runtime constraints.

Article destinations:

Checkpoint: Measure the effect on both task quality and operating requirements.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Deployment and lifecycle tooling

Question: What changes when the experiment becomes a service?

Plan packaging, serving, versioning, monitoring and rollback. Distinguish a model-serving tool from a full operating process.

Article destinations:

Checkpoint: Show how a failed release can be detected and rolled back.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Specialized capabilities

Question: Does the task need a document, speech, vision, creative, or domain-specific service?

Compare a specialized tool with a general-purpose baseline. Avoid assuming a historical product description establishes present availability.

Article destinations:

Checkpoint: Confirm that specialization improves the chosen workload.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →

Prototypes and research workspaces

Question: Do you need a fast experiment, notebook, or model repository?

Start with a small reproducible example. Use a repository or notebook environment to compare alternatives before building a production system.

Article destinations:

Checkpoint: Preserve inputs, versions and results so another person can reproduce the experiment.

  • Yes, I can do this: Compare an alternative, test the choice, or continue through the related trees below.
  • Not yet: Revisit the relevant explanation or choose a simpler baseline.
  • Choose another decision →
