The world of artificial intelligence has been both shaken and invigorated by the advent of generative AI, a realm where the boundaries of possibility are constantly being pushed. At the heart of this revolution stands the transformer architecture, a concept birthed from the minds of visionaries like Illia Polosukhin, one of the founding fathers of generative AI. In an exclusive interview, we delve into the story behind this groundbreaking idea and explore its implications for the future.
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, few technologies have been as transformative as the transformer—a groundbreaking model that paved the way for generative AI. At the heart of this revolution is Aidan Gomez, CEO and co-founder of Cohere, who was an intern at Google when the foundational paper conceptualizing the transformer was written. In this exclusive interview, we delve into the origins of the transformer, the future of AI, and Cohere's role in bringing this technology to the enterprise world.
