What Are Transformers?

So many millennia ago the AutoBots and Decepticons fought over Cybertron…

Oh wait, sorry. Wrong Transformers.

The Transformer architecture is a foundational model in modern artificial intelligence, particularly in natural language processing (NLP). Introduced in the seminal paper "Attention Is All You Need" by Vaswani et al. in 2017, it is one of the most important technological breakthroughs that gave rise to the Large Language Models you know today like ChatGPT and Claude.

What makes Transformers special is that instead of reading word-by-word like old systems (called recurrent models), the Transformer looks at the whole sentence all at once. It uses something called attention to figure out which words are important to focus on for each task. For example, if you're translating "She opened the box because it was her birthday," the word "it" might need special attention to understand it refers to "the box."

Why Learn The Transformer Architecture?

1. They Power Modern AI Applications Transformers are the backbone of many AI systems today. Models like GPT, BERT (used in search engines like Google), and DALL·E (image generation) are all based on Transformers. If you're interested in these technologies, understanding Transformers gives you insight into how they work.

2. They Represent AI’s Cutting Edge Transformers revolutionized AI, shifting from older methods like RNNs (Recurrent Neural Networks) to a whole new way of processing information. Learning them helps you understand why this shift happened and how it unlocked a new level of AI capability.

3. They’re Widely Used in Research and Industry Whether you want to work in academia, build AI products, or explore mechanistic interpretability (which you’ve expressed interest in), Transformers are often the core technology. Understanding them can open doors to exciting projects and careers.

4. They’re Fun and Intellectually Challenging The concept of self-attention and how Transformers handle context is elegant and powerful. Learning about them can feel like solving a fascinating puzzle. It’s rewarding to see how they "think" and to realize why they’re so effective.
