title: "Transformer"
description: "A Transformer is a type of artificial intelligence model primarily used in the field of
Natural Language Processing.
Introduced in the paper \"Attention is All You Need\" by Vaswani et al., it revolutionized
the NLP domain by using a mechanism called \"attention\" to understand the context of words in a sentence.
Unlike previous models, Transformers do not process data in sequential order, but rather, they process all
data points simultaneously, making them highly efficient for large-scale tasks. Transformers serve as the
foundation for many advanced AI models, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others."
