Transformer architecture (TA) models such as BERT (bidirectional encoder representations from transformers) and GPT (generative pretrained transformer) have revolutionized natural language processing ...

The encoder and decoder are lightweight models. The encoder takes in raw input bytes and creates the patch representations that are fed to the global transformer.

Essential AI Labs Inc., a startup led by two co-inventors of the foundational Transformer neural network architecture, today announced that it has raised $56.5 million from a group of prominent backer ...
