Decoder-only architecture (GPT) is more efficient to train than encoder-only one (e.g., BERT). This makes it easier to train large GPT models. Large models demonstrate remarkable capabilities for zero- / few-shot learning. This makes decoder-only architecture more suitable for building general purpose language models.
