I made an AI periodic table that traces AI tools to its foundations

While diving deep into AI system architecture, I came across an insightful video that sparked a fascinating idea, what if we could visualize AI components like a periodic table?

This led me to design an interactive HTML version of an AI Periodic Table that helps decompose and understand the core elements powering today's most popular AI products and services!

The AI Periodic Table breaks down modern AI systems into organized categories:

Primitives: Prompts, Embeddings, LLMs
Compositions: Function Calling, Vector Search, RAG, Guardrails, Multimodal
Deployment: Agents, Fine-tuning, Frameworks, Red-teaming, Small Models
Emerging: Multi-agent systems, Synthetic data, Interpretability, AI Thinking

This interactive guide allows you to explore how different AI elements combine to create the intelligent products we use daily. Click on any element to learn its purpose or explore specific AI products to see which components power them.
