AI Tech Stack Explained: From Foundation Models to Real-World Apps (2025 Guide)

Introduction

If you’re starting your journey in Artificial Intelligence, understanding the AI technology stack is crucial. From foundation models like GPT and Llama to real-world applications like ChatGPT and AI copilots, this guide breaks down the entire ecosystem so you can see how everything connects.

The AI Stack – Layer by Layer

1. Foundation Models

At the base are large-scale models like OpenAI’s GPT, Meta’s Llama, and Anthropic’s Claude. These models are trained on massive datasets and power most modern AI applications.

2. Inference & Platforms

Once models exist, they need to be deployed efficiently. Platforms like AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Hugging Face handle model serving, fine-tuning, and scaling.

3. Frameworks

Frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and LangChain give developers the tools to build AI workflows and applications.

4. Tools & Integrations

Libraries like Scikit-learn, Pandas, and Weights & Biases help with ML experiments. For LLMs, LlamaIndex and vector databases like Pinecone add memory, while Streamlit and Gradio make UI prototyping easy.

5. Applications & Products

Finally, the top layer: AI applications. From ChatGPT and MidJourney to AI copilots in Microsoft Office, this is where users interact with AI.

Why This Matters

Understanding this flow helps you see where your skills fit in and how to build a career in AI. Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, or tech enthusiast, knowing the stack gives you a competitive edge.

Securing Azure Virtual Desktop

Introduction Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) offers a powerful and flexible solution for delivering virtualized desktops and applications. However, like any cloud-based service, AVD requires robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data and ensure business continuity. This post explores key cybersecurity best practices, security features, and strategies for securing your AVD environment. Understanding the Threat Landscape Before diving into specific security measures, it's crucial to understand the potential threats targeting AVD environments. These include: Malware:  Viruses, ransomware, and other malicious software can compromise virtual desktops and steal data. Phishing:  Attackers may use phishing emails or websites to trick users into revealing their credentials. Brute-force attacks:  Attackers may attempt to guess user passwords through automated attacks. Insider threats:  Malicious or negligent employees ca...

The Beginner's Guide to Understand AI in 2025

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the world at an unprecedented pace. In 2025, AI is not just a buzzword—it's a core technology that impacts everything from business and health to how we work, shop, and communicate. If you’re new to AI, this guide is for you. Here’s a simple, structured introduction to what AI is, how it works, and how you can make sense of its impact on our daily lives. What Is Artificial Intelligence? AI refers to machines or computer systems that mimic human intelligence. This includes learning from data, understanding language, recognizing images, making decisions, and even generating creative content. Think of AI as the “brains” powering smart assistants like Siri, recommending videos on YouTube, or detecting fraud in your online banking. Types of AI Narrow AI: Performs specific tasks (e.g., voice assistants, image recognition). This is what most AI in 2025 is. General AI: Theoretical machines with human-like cognition across any task. We’re not ther...
