Transformer

A transformer is a type of neural network architecture that has revolutionized how AI understands and generates language. It is the core technology behind many advanced language models, including GPT. Transformers are very good at handling long pieces of text and understanding how words relate to each other, even if they are far apart in a sentence.

Unlike older models that processed words one at a time, transformers look at the entire sentence at once. This allows them to capture context more effectively and produce much more natural and accurate responses. They are used in everything from translation tools and chatbots to summarization and content generation.
