create_gpt2#

composer.models.create_gpt2(use_pretrained=False, pretrained_model_name=None, model_config=None, tokenizer_name=None, gradient_checkpointing=False)[source]#
Implements HuggingFaceModel to wrap Hugging Face GPT-2 transformers. Logs training and

validation perplexity.

From Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners (Radford et al, 2018).

Args:

gradient_checkpointing (bool, optional): Use gradient checkpointing. Default: False. use_pretrained (bool, optional): Whether to initialize the model with the pretrained weights. Default: False. model_config (dict): A dictionary providing a HuggingFace model configuration. tokenizer_name (str, optional): Tokenizer name used to preprocess the dataset and validate the models inputs.
