transformers

Power grid regulators

Transformers are electrical devices that transfer energy between circuits, typically changing voltage levels—stepping power up for transmission or down for household use.

The word also names a franchise of toys and media featuring robots that transform into vehicles.

In machine learning, a transformer is a neural network architecture that processes sequences by attending to relationships between all elements simultaneously, powering modern language models like GPT.
