Part 8/15:
The current wave, driven by the transformer architecture invented at Google in 2017, is fundamentally different. It enables AI to understand and generate language, images, and increasingly complex data interactions. This architecture underpins models like GPT-3, GPT-4, and their successors, marking a shift towards understanding and generation rather than mere statistical correlation.
This technological leap means AI is entering a trajectory where its capabilities will continue to improve exponentially. For example, moving from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 unlocked new verticals, such as legal applications, which were previously inaccessible.
