A lot of people are magic'd by how "smart" ChatGPT is, but many don't know about the technology that makes it possible. We all know GPT stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer," but the "T" is the real hero.
- **Generative:** It can create (generate) new text.
- **Pre-trained:** It was trained on a massive amount of text from the internet.
- **Transformer:** This is the game-changing part. It's a special type of AI architecture (from a 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need") that is extremely good at understanding *context*.
Before Transformers, models read text word-by-word and would often "forget" the beginning of a long sentence. The Transformer's "Attention" mechanism lets it look at all the words in a sentence at once and decide which ones are most important to each other. This is how it understands nuance, metaphors, and complex ideas.
I was so fascinated by this that I made a short, visual video explaining it.
**[Note: The video is in Spanish]** as I'm creating resources for the Spanish-speaking AI community. I hope the text explanation here is useful for everyone, and for my fellow Spanish speakers, you can check out the full video explanation here!
