transformer
Electrical voltage converter
A transformer is a device that changes the voltage of an electrical current—stepping it up or down as needed for different applications.
The large metal boxes on utility poles are transformers.
In a different sense, a transformer is anything that fundamentally changes something: She was a transformer of the industry.
In machine learning, a transformer is a neural network architecture that processes sequences by attending to all parts simultaneously, enabling modern large language models. (Capitalized Transformer refers to the toy franchise.)
