Llion Jones, co-founder & CTO of Sakana AI and one of the eight co-authors of "Attention Is All You Need", will speak at DevFest Kansai in Osaka on October 18. Teasing his talk on X, he says he'll share stories about how mad being on the Transformer paper has made his life — under the pun-filled title "I didn't need this attention". The talk promises behind-the-scenes facts about the historic paper and how it dramatically changed the lives of its authors.
