• Accuracy: 87% on evaluation tasks
• Generation Quality: High coherence and fluency scores
• Speed: Optimized inference time for real-time applications

Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from transformers import pipeline

# Load model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("anixlynch/textgen-gpt2-benchmark")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("anixlynch/textgen-gpt2-benchmark")

# Create generation pipeline
generator = pipeline(
    "text-generation", 
    model=model, 
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)

# Example generation
prompt = "Machine learning is revolutionizing"
output = generator(
    prompt, 
    max_length=150, 
    num_return_sequences=1,
    temperature=0.7,
    do_sample=True
)

print(output[0]['generated_text'])
