    GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained  Transformer, the core technology behind ChatGPT,
  • 00:00:05
    but what is this technology, really?
  • 00:00:08
    Let's get into it.
  • 00:00:11
    So let's break this down into what a GPT is,
  • 00:00:15
    a little bit of history of GPT models,
  • 00:00:18
    and then an example of how we've put GPTs to work right here in the studio,
  • 00:00:24
    and let's start with what. What is a GPT?
  • 00:00:28
    Well, a GPT is a type of large language model that
  • 00:00:31
    uses deep learning to produce natural  language text based on a given inputs.
  • 00:00:37
    And GPT models work by analyzing an input  sequence and predicting the most likely outputs.
  • 00:00:42
    So let's break this down.
  • 00:00:45
    So we have generative is the G,
  • 00:00:50
    Pre-trained is the P,
  • 00:00:54
    and the T that is for Transformer.
  • 00:00:58
    So what does all of this actually mean?
  • 00:01:02
    Well, in generative pre-training, let's let's start with that.
  • 00:01:08
    So generative pre-training teaches the model  to detect patterns in data and then apply those patterns to new inputs.
  • 00:01:17
    It's actually a form of learning  called unsupervised learning,
  • 00:01:22
    where the model is given unlabeled data.
  • 00:01:25
    That means data that doesn't have  any predefined labels or categories.
  • 00:01:28
    And then it must interpret it independently.
  • 00:01:31
    And by learning to detect  patterns in those datasets.
  • 00:01:35
    The model can draw similar conclusions  when exposed to new unseen inputs.
  • 00:01:40
    Now, GPT models are trained with billions or even   trillions of parameters which are  refined over the training process.
  • 00:01:48
    Now, the T in GPT that stands for Transformer.
  • 00:01:55
    Transformers are a type of neural network  specialized in natural language processing.
  • 00:01:59
    Transformers don't understand language  in the same way that humans do.
  • 00:02:03
    Instead, they process words into discrete units.
  • 00:02:07
    Those units are called tokens, and  for those tokens, they're smaller
  • 00:02:13
    chunks of words or characters  that the model can understand
  • 00:02:17
    and transform all models of process data with  two modules known as encoders and decoders.
  • 00:02:22
    And they use something called  self attention mechanisms to
  • 00:02:25
    establish dependencies and relationships.
  • 00:02:28
    So let's define what those are and  let's start with self attention.
  • 00:02:34
    So what is a self attention mechanism?
  • 00:02:37
    Well, it's really the signature feature of  Transform is the secret sauce, if you like,
  • 00:02:43
    older models like recurrent neural  networks or convolutional neural networks.
  • 00:02:47
    They assess input data sequentially or  hierarchically, but transformers can self direct
  • 00:02:53
    to their attention to the most important tokens  in the input sequence, no matter where they are.
  • 00:03:00
    They allow the model to evaluate each word
  • 00:03:02
    significance within the context  of the complete input sequence,
  • 00:03:05
    making it possible for the model to understand  linkages and dependencies between words.
  • 00:03:11
    Okay, so that self attention.
  • 00:03:13
    What about the encoder?
  • 00:03:16
    Well, the encoder module maps tokens onto a  three dimensional vector space in a process
  • 00:03:22
    called embedding tokens encoded nearby in the  3D space or seem to be more similar in meaning.
  • 00:03:28
    The encoder blocks in the transformer  network assigns each embedding a weight
  • 00:03:33
    which determines its relative importance  and positioned encode as capture semantics,
  • 00:03:37
    which lets GPT models differentiate between  groupings of the same words in different orders.
  • 00:03:43
    So for example, the egg came before the chicken  as compared to the chicken came before the egg.
  • 00:03:49
    Same words in that sentence,  but different meanings.
  • 00:03:52
    There's also a decoder module as well.
  • 00:03:57
    And the decoder.
  • 00:03:58
    What that does is it predicts the most  statistically probable response to the
  • 00:04:02
    embeddings prepared by the encoders, by  identifying the most important portions
  • 00:04:07
    of the input sequence with self attention and then  determining the output most likely to be correct.
  • 00:04:13
    Now a quick word on the history of  generative Pre-trained Transformers.
  • 00:04:19
    The transformer architecture was first  introduced in 2017 in the Google brain paper,
  • 00:04:27
    "Attention is all you need."
  • 00:04:29
    Today there are a whole bunch of generative A.I. models built on this architecture, including  open source models like Llama from Meta
  • 00:04:37
    and Granite from IBM, and closed source frontier models  like Google Gemini and Claude from Anthropic,
  • 00:04:44
    but I think the GPT model that most comes to mind  for most people is ChatGPT from OpenAI.
  • 00:04:53
    Now ChatGPT is not a specific GPT model.
  • 00:04:56
    It's a chat interface that allows users to interact   with various generative pre-trained transformers.
  • 00:05:02
    You pick the model you want from a list and today xthere's likely to be a GPT4 model like GPT4o.
  • 00:05:09
    But the first GPT model from OpenAI was  GPT-1, and that came out back in 2018.
  • 00:05:18
    It was able to answer questions in a humanlike way to an extent, but it was
  • 00:05:23
    also highly prone to hallucinations and just general bouts of nonsense.
  • 00:05:28
    GPT2 That came out the following year as a much  larger model boasting 1.5 billion parameters.
  • 00:05:41
    Sounds like quite a lot.
  • 00:05:43
    Since then, linear scaling has resulted in each  subsequent model becoming larger and more capable.
  • 00:05:49
    So by the time we get to today's GPT4 models, well, those are estimated to contain something like 1.8 trillion parameters, which is a whole lot more.
  • 00:06:03
    So we talked about how a GPT is a  fundamentally different type of model,
  • 00:06:08
    one that uses self attention mechanisms to see  the big picture and evaluate the relationships
  • 00:06:12
    between words in a sequence, allowing it to  generate contextually relevant responses.
  • 00:06:17
    And I'd like to share a quick example of how
  • 00:06:21
    that's helped right here in  my role in video education.
  • 00:06:25
    We create close captions for every  video using a speech to text service.
  • 00:06:31
    Now here's a snippet from the  course I was working on this
  • 00:06:34
    week showing the transcript and the timestamps.
  • 00:06:38
    Now it's not bad, but there are some errors.
  • 00:06:41
    It's mis transcribed Cobal as CBL.
  • 00:06:44
    It's missed me saying a T in  HTTP and it had no idea that K.S. is actually a product called CICS,
  • 00:06:53
    which is pronounced kicks.
  • 00:06:54
    And that's all typical of air models built  on recurrent neural networks that process
  • 00:06:59
    data sequentially one word at a time.
  • 00:07:02
    So I gave this transcript to a GPT model,
  • 00:07:06
    along with the script that I based my talk on, which I called the ground truth.
  • 00:07:13
    So this was the actual script that I was reading from.
  • 00:07:18
    Then I told the GPT to fix the transcript,
  • 00:07:21
    and here's what it came up with.
  • 00:07:23
    It fixed all three errors.
  • 00:07:25
    CBL is Cobal, KS is CICS, and HTP is HTTP,
  • 00:07:31
    and in fact, I tried this again, but  this time removing the ground truth
  • 00:07:37
    entirely and instead just gave it a brief  synopsis that said This is a video about
  • 00:07:43
    a modern CISC application and it was  still able to fix those three errors.
  • 00:07:48
    And that's the self attention mechanism at work, processing the entire input   sequence and better understanding the context of what I was discussing.
  • 00:07:58
    Even without having the exact script in front of it.
  • 00:08:01
    The GPT model uses broader language and software knowledge  to correct technical terms and acronyms.
  • 00:08:08
    So that's generative Pre-trained, Transformers or  GPT as they form the foundation of generative A.I.
  • 00:08:14
    applications using transformer architecture and   undergoing supervised pre training on vast amounts of unlabeled data.
  • 00:08:24
    And if you happen to turn video captions on in this video and you spotted an error,
  • 00:08:30
    well now you know which model to blame.
