What are transformers in AI?
Briefly

Transformers have revolutionized AI by enabling simultaneous processing of data sequences, significantly improving efficiency, accuracy, and speed in numerous applications, particularly in language contexts.
According to Adam Clarke, a software engineer at Rocketmakers, 'Transformers are particularly good in scenarios where data is sequential and that sequence holds meaning, which is why it's so powerful in a language context.'
Initially introduced in 2017, the transformer model has become foundational for large language models, affecting areas from language translation to recommendation systems.
These models power advanced tasks like text summarization and question-answering, making transformers indispensable for both AI development and practical applications.
