Output / Response
What the AI produces in reply to your prompt.
Definition
The output of an AI model is the text, data, code, or other content it produces in response to an input. For language models, this is typically text. The output is generated probabilistically — the model doesn't retrieve a pre-written answer, it generates a response token by token based on what it has learned during training. This means the same prompt can produce slightly different outputs each time, and outputs should always be reviewed for accuracy.
