  • OpenAI's GPT-1, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer 1, was the first in a series of transformer-based language models developed by OpenAI. This model laid the groundwork for subsequent iterations, including GPT-2 and GPT-3, by demonstrating the effectiveness of the transformer architecture in processing and generating human-like language. GPT-1's architecture was simpler compared to its successors, but it was a pivotal step in advancing the capabilities of NLP systems.
