**TLDR:** A multidimensional numerical structure that generalizes scalars, vectors, and matrices.

<p>A tensor is a more general, multidimensional extension of scalars, vectors, and matrices. In deep learning, images, video sequences, audio representations, and network parameters are frequently processed as tensors. The tensor concept allows multidimensional data to be represented in a structured way and forms the basis of high-performance GPU computation. In frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, nearly all operations are performed through tensor logic. For this reason, tensors are a core concept for understanding modern AI infrastructure.</p>
