Definition

A foundation model is a large-scale pretrained model, typically Transformer-based, serving as a versatile base for various downstream tasks through adaptation like fine-tuning. It enables broad AI applications with minimal task-specific training, reducing development costs and supporting emergent abilities in reasoning and instruction-following.
