Hash Function
Algorithm mapping arbitrary‑length input to fixed‑length output with properties like preimage resistance.
Hash
Fixed‑length digest computed from data by a hash function; used for addressing and integrity.
Hard Fork
Incompatible protocol upgrade that requires nodes to update; may produce a split chain.
Hard Cap
Maximum token supply or fundraise amount that will ever be issued or raised.
Grounding
Linking model outputs to verifiable data or tools to reduce hallucinations.
Ground Truth
Authoritative labels or facts used for training and evaluating models.
Greedy Decoding
Strategy that picks the highest‑probability token at each step; fast but can be myopic.
Gradient Checkpointing
Memory‑saving technique that recomputes activations during backward pass to fit larger models.
Gradient Clipping
Technique to limit gradient magnitude during training to stabilize optimization.
Gradient Descent
Optimization method that iteratively updates parameters in the direction of negative gradient.
