Intro to AI Transformers

Learn about what transformers are (the T of GPT) and how to work with them using Hugging Face libraries
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are powered by neural networks called transformers. In this course, you will learn how transformers work and use Hugging Face's transformer tools to generate text (with GPT-2) and perform sentiment analysis (with BERT). Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of transformer models and how to address carbon impacts of model training.
