Discover the milestones that shaped Artificial Intelligence. Every entry links to an official or primary source — no invented history.
A 7B model that outperformed much larger open models, released with fully permissive licensing.
Why it matters — Made Europe a serious player and reset expectations for small-model quality.
A robust multilingual speech recognition model trained on 680k hours of supervised audio.
Why it matters — Made high-quality, free transcription available to every developer.
Krizhevsky, Sutskever and Hinton's GPU-trained CNN cut top-5 error from ~26% to ~15%, far ahead of every classical method.
Why it matters — Started the modern deep learning era and the GPU-compute arms race.
Turing's Mind paper opens with “Can machines think?” and proposes the Imitation Game — later known as the Turing Test — as an operational substitute for the question.
Why it matters — Framed machine intelligence as something to be measured by behaviour rather than metaphysics, setting the research agenda for decades.
