// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Gopher
Gopher is a very large language model developed by DeepMind, known for its impressive size and strong performance across many language tasks.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Gopher is a 280-billion parameter transformer-based language model developed by DeepMind, which, at its release, was one of the largest and most performant models, showcasing the capabilities of large-scale pretraining for general language understanding.
BACKGROUND
A large language model (LLM) is a type of machine learning model designed for natural language processing tasks such as language generation. LLMs are language models with many parameters, and are trained with self-supervised learning on a vast amount of text.
