interoperability
/ˌɪntərˌɒpərəˈbɪlɪti/
Definition
The ability of different computer systems, software frameworks, or AI models to connect, exchange data, and work together seamlessly.
Etymology
The word is formed from the prefix 'inter-' (between) and 'operability', which derives from the Latin 'operari' (to work). It emerged in the late 20th century to describe the technical capability of disparate information systems to communicate.
In the news

This allows companies to mix frontier models with open-weight alternatives effectively.
