How Does AI Actually Work?

The Generative AI space is moving so fast it's hard to keep everything straight. At Every, we've found ourselves furiously researching the space to try to understand the technology behind this explosion in creativity. Here are three of our favorite resources to understand the most important parts of this technology wave: neural networks, transformer models, and diffusion models. Want to understand the fundamental building blocks of deep learning models? Watch this YouTube series to get some intuition for how neural networks work--and why they're so powerful. Go deeper: Read this free online book, Neural Networks and Deep Learning by Michael Nielsen to get your hands dirty building a simple neural network yourself. Transformer models are the innovation that led to GPT-3 and the current explosion of innovation in AI. Read this article to understand how they work--and how they use something called
