What is the transformer architecture?

0:17

The transformer is a neural network architecture introduced in the 2017 paper Attention Is All You Need. It replaces recurrence with self-attention, allowing the model to process all tokens in a sequence in parallel. The transformer is the foundation of every major LLM today, including the GPT, Claude, Llama, Gemini, and Mistral families.
