The paper that quietly started the entire AI revolution
This 2017 paper introduced the Transformer, the architecture behind ChatGPT, Claude, and basically every modern AI system. It's remarkably short and readable for something this consequential. Even if you skim it, understanding where "attention" comes from demystifies a huge amount of the AI hype. The primary source everyone cites but few actually read.
