- [What is a Transformer Model? An Engineer's Guide](https://zilliz.com/glossary/transformer-models): A transformer model is a neural network architecture. It's proficient in converting a particular type of input into a distinct output. Its core strength lies in its ability to handle inputs and outputs of different sequence length. It does this through encoding the input into a matrix with predefined dimensions and then combining that with another attention matrix to decode. This transformation unfolds through a sequence of collaborative layers, which deconstruct words into their corresponding numerical representations.
At its heart, a transformer model is a bridge between disparate linguistic structures, employing sophisticated neural network configurations to decode and manipulate human language input. An example of a transformer model is GPT-3, which ingests human language and generates text output.
