Local AI Jargon Quiz: Do You Know All These Buzzwords?

It's FOSS published a ten-question quiz testing readers' knowledge of local AI jargon, including terms such as tokens, harness, and quantization. The quiz targets people running models locally on tools like Ollama and llama.cpp, offering one description per term with explanations. It's FOSS also promoted its new Local AI Weekly newsletter alongside the quiz.

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. .
