# GPT-2-dolly

**GPT-2-dolly** is an instruction fine-tuned model based on the GPT-2 transformer architecture.


### Benchmark Metrics

| Metric                | GPT-2-dolly | GPT-2 (base) |
|-----------------------|-------|-------|
| Avg.                  | **30.91** | 29.99 |
| ARC (25-shot)         | **22.70** | 21.84 |
| HellaSwag (10-shot)   | 30.15 | **31.6** |
| MMLU (5-shot)         | 25.81 | **25.86** |

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'])
```

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.
