**TLDR:** An advanced recurrent architecture that uses gating mechanisms to learn long-term dependencies.

<p>LSTM was designed to alleviate the difficulty that standard RNNs face when learning long-term dependencies. Through input, forget, and output gates, it can decide what information to keep, update, and expose. This selective memory mechanism made it highly effective for many years in language modeling, speech processing, and time series analysis. Before Transformers, it was one of the strongest tools in sequence modeling.</p>
