We use state-of-the-art [Language Model Evaluation Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness) to run the benchmark tests above, using the same version as the HuggingFace LLM Leaderboard. Please see below for detailed instructions on reproducing benchmark results.

### Model Details

* **Trained by**: Luiz G A Alves
* **Model type:**  **GPT-2-dolly** is an auto-regressive language model based on the GPT-2 transformer architecture.
* **Language(s)**: English

### How to use:

```python
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="lgaalves/gpt2-dolly")
>>> question = "What is a large language model?"
>>> answer = pipe(question)
>>> print(answer[0]['generated_text'])
What is a large language model?
A large language model aims for understanding a large group of phenomena through computational methods which allow more precise models.
A model also encourages the use of empirical concepts such as equations, models, natural numbers, natural language
```

or, you can load the model direclty using:

```python
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("lgaalves/gpt2-dolly")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("lgaalves/gpt2-dolly")
```

### Training Dataset

`lgaalves/gpt2-dolly` trained using the Databricks Dolly dataset [`databricks/databricks-dolly-15k`](https://huggingface.co./datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k).


### Training Procedure

`lgaalves/gpt2-dolly` was instruction fine-tuned using LoRA on 1 T4 GPU on Google Colab. It took about 1.5 hours to train it.  


# Intended uses, limitations & biases

You can use the raw model for text generation or fine-tune it to a downstream task. The model was not extensively tested and may produce false information. It contains a lot of unfiltered content from the internet, which is far from neutral.
