Definition

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) is an autoregressive language model that uses the transformer architecture to generate human-like text. It was trained on a massive dataset of internet text to predict the next token in a sequence. GPT-2 demonstrated significant improvements in coherence and factual knowledge over its predecessor, becoming a foundational model for few-shot learning and natural language processing tasks, though it raised early concerns about synthetic media capabilities.
