What are hybrid models?

A hybrid model is like having two different kinds of toys that work together to help you solve a bigger puzzle.

Imagine you're trying to build a tower with blocks, but some parts are made of soft foam and others are hard plastic. The foam blocks are easy to stack but might squish if you push too hard. The plastic ones are strong but harder to move around. A hybrid model uses both kinds, it’s like having the best of both worlds so your tower stays up no matter what.

How It Works

Think of a hybrid model as a robot that can walk and fly. One part of the robot is made of legs, which help it move on the ground, just like you walking. The other part has wings, letting it float in the air, like when you jump up to grab something high.

So, a hybrid model mixes two ways of working together, making it smarter and more flexible, like having both soft foam and hard plastic in your tower!
