For context, BERT is encoder-only, vs SLMs and LLMs which are decoder-only, and BERT is very much not about generating text, it’s a completely different tech and purpose behind it. I believe some multimodal variants nowadays may muddy the waters slightly, but fundamentally they’re very different things, let alone around been around for decades unless also including the history of computing in general.

While I could’ve written that better and with less attitude, gotta confess - and thx for pointing out my smugness - the AI stuff of the last few weeks really got under my skin, think I’m feeling all rather fatigued about it
