The Gen AI Revolution

Google researchers publish "Attention Is All You Need." This one paper introduces the architecture that powers every modern AI model: GPT, Claude, Gemini, all of them. Without it, none of this happens.

OpenAI trains progressively larger models on progressively more data. GPT-3 stuns researchers. It writes essays, answers questions, and generates code without being specifically trained for any of them.

DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney launch. Anyone can now generate professional-quality images just by describing them. No design skills, no tools, no experience needed.

OpenAI wraps GPT-3.5 in a simple chat interface. One million users in 5 days. One hundred million in 2 months. The fastest consumer adoption in history.

Every company immediately forms an "AI task force."

GPT-4, Claude 2, Gemini, Llama. A new frontier model nearly every month. GitHub Copilot hits 1 million paid users. AI stops being a research topic and becomes a job requirement.

Models gain the ability to reason through complex problems step by step. AI agents begin completing multi-step tasks on their own. MCP standardises how AI connects to external tools and data.
