Welcome to ELI5-AI 🎉
This project explains AI concepts in the simplest way possible —
like you’re 5 years old.
Each entry includes:
- One-sentence definition ✏️
- Kid-friendly analogy 🧒
- Why it matters 🔑
- (Advanced levels add light tech notes 🛠️)
👉 Missing something? You can open an Issue and suggest a new term.

Pick a Level
- Level 1 → Basics everyone should know (e.g., Transformer, Embeddings).
- Level 2 → Advanced but still ELI5 style, with small tech notes.
- Level 3 → Foresight: future concepts like AGI, agentic LLMs, superalignment.
-
Read the Format
Each term page is short and structured:- One sentence → quick definition.
- Kid analogy → a fun, simple metaphor.
- Why it matters → why it’s worth caring about.
- Tech Notes (if available) → minimal but practical details.
-
Compare Across Levels
Start at Level 1 for intuition, move up to Level 2 for real-world detail,
and glance at Level 3 for where things may be heading.
