Want to learn AI the right way in 2025? Don’t just take courses. Don’t just build toy projects. Look at what’s actually being used in the real world. The most practical way to really learn AI today is to follow the models that are shaping the industry — and read the technical papers that power them. That’s where you see what works in practice, not just theory. Here's a curated list of the most impactful language models technical paper: 1️⃣GPT Series (OpenAI) GPT-1 → Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training(2018) https://cdn.openai.com/research-covers/language-unsupervised/language_understanding_paper.pdf GPT-2 → Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners (2019) https://cdn.openai.com/better-language-models/language_models_are_unsupervised_multitask_learners.pdf GPT-3 → Language Models are Few-Shot Learners(2020) https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165 ChatGPT :Trained with RLHF – Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (Ouyang et al., 2022) https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.02155 GPT-4 → GPT-4 Technical Report (2023) https://cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4.pdf 2️⃣Claude (Anthropic) Constitutional AI: Harmlessness from AI Feedback (2022) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.08073 3️⃣Gemini (Google DeepMind) Gemini: A Family of Highly Capable Multimodal Models (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11805 Start building with Gemini 2.5 Flash(2025) https://developers.googleblog.com/en/start-building-with-gemini-25-flash/ 4️⃣Gemma (Google) Gemma: Open Models for Responsible AI(2024) https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08295 Gemma 3 Technical Report(2025) https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19786 5️⃣LLaMA Series (Meta AI) LLaMA: Open and Efficient Foundation Language Models(2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13971 LLaMA 2: Improved training and safety (2023) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.09288 Llama 3:The Llama 3 Herd of Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.21783 Llama 4:The beginning of a new era of natively multimodal AI innovation https://ai.meta.com/blog/llama-4-multimodal-intelligence/ 6️⃣Mistral AI(France) Mistral 7B: Grouped-query attention (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.06825 7️⃣Kimi by Moonshot AI (China) Scaling RL with LLMs: Technical Report of Kimi k1.5 (2025) https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.12599 8️⃣DeepSeek(China) DeepSeekMath: Pushing the Limits of Mathematical Reasoning in Open Language Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03300 DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report (2024) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.19437 DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.12948 9️⃣Qwen (China) Qwen Technical Report(2023) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.16609 Qwen2 Technical Report(2024) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.10671 Qwen2.5 Technical Report(2024) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15115 Qwen2.5-Omni Technical Report Multimodel (2025) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.20215 Keep exploring, keep growing, and always give back!
