AI is moving fast. Its jargon is moving even faster. Half of it doesn't mean what you'd guess from the name. After all, [tokens](https://itsfoss.com/llm-token/) are not coins. Terms like harness and quantization are everywhere in local AI conversation, and often people don't even know what these terms mean.

I put together this quiz to test how well you actually know the words you're using. It is a little quiz with just ten questions, one correct (and hopefully funny) description per term.

Guess the term, then check your reasoning against the explanation, in case your answer was a pure guess.

You don't need to be an AI researcher to do well here. If you've spent any time running models locally, on [Ollama](https://itsfoss.com/ollama/), llama.cpp, or anything similar, you've probably bumped into most of these already.
