What the AI basics lab does
Every level starts with a one-line brief from a fictional company and a Predict first question: you guess, then you see. Then you play with a picture, finish a short task and read one sentence on how the idea is used at work. Each term, such as model, label, threshold, token or embedding, has a short plain meaning you can tap.

Where something is real, the level says so. Small open models run in your browser after you tap Start, and the level says plainly what is real and what is made up.
Eleven levels, from rules to drift
The first levels ask what AI is, how data and labels work, how a model learns and why a model that scores 100 percent on its own examples can still fail. Then you check whether a model is any good and whether it is fair. The later levels teach a camera with photos of good and dented parts, cut words into tokens, place support tickets on a map of meaning, watch a chatbot choose its next word, answer from a pump manual with sources, and give an agent tools and a guardrail.

The last level watches the camera model after eight weeks: find the week it went wrong, name the cause and fill in a model card.
Private by design
The models and their files are served from this site, so nothing is fetched from a third party while you play. The webcam in the camera level is optional, asks first, and nothing leaves your browser. The companies, parts and people are made up.
Free, and the way into the AI Workbench
Opening the lab and doing the levels is free, and you can start without an account. A free EDWartens account records your results. When you finish, the AI Workbench is the next lab: the same ideas on real tables of data.
How it works
- Open Teach a camera and make your Predict first guess.
- Add photos of good and dented parts and press Train.
- Try Watch a model learn and Is it any good.
- Check a CV screen for fairness.
- Continue in the AI Workbench.
