Attention is All You Need: The Power of Transformers

The Attention Mechanism in AI

Older models read a sentence through a narrow tube, losing sight of words that were far apart. The 'Attention Mechanism' is a powerful upgrade. For every word, it can look at all other words in the sentence to see how they are related, no matter how far apart they are. It's like building a bridge between 'car' and 'it' in a long paragraph, knowing they are related.

Real-World Example

Large Language Models (LLMs) like Gemini and ChatGPT are built on this Transformer architecture, allowing them to understand context, answer nuanced questions, and write coherent essays and documents effectively.
