The Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) was developed in 2014 as a simpler alternative to the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. While LSTM uses separate cell and hidden states with three gates, GRU consolidates these into a single hidden state and employs only two gates: the update gate and the reset gate. This streamlined architecture achieves comparable performance to LSTM with fewer parameters and faster training times, making it a more computationally efficient choice for sequence modeling tasks.
