There are so many things happening in the AI and LLM space and it is hard to keep track of it all, when it happened, who influenced a paper or model, what a paper or model influenced, etc. This "LLM Timeline" visualization does a nice job of that... up to early 2025. Unfortunately, this visualization misses out on a ton of developments since then including the November 2025 Inflection.

As someone who is fascinated by the research side of all of this, an awesome feature of this timeline is that you can click on a specific entity in the timeline and it includes several details and a link to the core white paper.

Everything in this visualization stems from the 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need".
