There were no LLMs between 2018 and 2022, at least not in the sense resembling today. The whole LLM frenzy started in late 2022.

BERT came out in 2018 and that’s a pretty important inflection point. It didn’t cause a pop culture frenzy, but in NLP circles it was a ‘magical’ improvement.

  • From technical POV that's true, but that was still a niche area at the time, mostly ignored in the broader tech community. So wrt. the broader tech world discussing harnesses, I'd still use November 2022 as the reference point.
