Wake-up your grandparents' Generative Pre-trained Transformer is here.

Generative Pre-trained Transformer, often referred to as GPT, is a type of deep learning model architecture introduced by OpenAI. It's designed for natural language processing tasks, particularly focused on tasks involving text generation, completion, and understanding. The architecture utilizes a transformer-based neural network, which has proven to be highly effective in handling sequential data like text. 

The "pre-trained" aspect of GPT comes from the fact that these models are initially trained on a massive amount of text data to learn language patterns, grammar, context, and other linguistic features. This pre-training is done on a large corpus of text data using unsupervised learning. Once pre-trained, the model can then be fine-tuned on specific tasks with smaller, task-specific datasets.

The term "generative" in GPT indicates that the model can generate coherent and contextually relevant text. Given a prompt or an initial sentence, GPT can continue the text in a way that seems natural and contextually appropriate. This capability has made GPT models highly versatile for a wide range of applications, including text completion, language translation, question answering, text summarization, and more.

Note this technology leverages over 175 billion parameters and achieved state-of-the-art performance on various language-related tasks. As if this was not enough, developments in AI and deep learning are occurring while you are reading the post.
