  # OLM GPT-2 October 2022
  
  This is a more up-to-date version of the [original GPT-2](https://huggingface.co/gpt2).
  In addition to being more up-to-date, it also tends to perform better than the original GPT2 on standard benchmarks.
  It was trained on a cleaned October 2022 snapshot of Common Crawl and Wikipedia.
  
  This model was created as part of the OLM project, which has the goal of continuously training and releasing models that are up-to-date and comparable in standard language model performance to their static counterparts.
  This is important because we want our models to know about events like COVID or 
  a presidential election right after they happen.
  
  ## Intended uses
  
  You can use the raw model for text generation or fine-tune it to a downstream task.
  
  ## How to use
  
  You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text generation. Since the generation relies on some randomness, we
  set a seed for reproducibility:
  
  ```python
  >>> from transformers import pipeline, set_seed
  >>> # It is important to include the bad_words_ids=[[0,2]] if you want this model to stay on topic.
  >>> # Otherwise, the model may generate start and end tokens followed by text that is not relevant to
  >>> # the previous text.
  >>> generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='olm/olm-gpt2-oct-2022', bad_words_ids=[[0,2]])
  >>> set_seed(42)
  >>> # This example also illustrates that sometimes our model generates
  >>> # bloggy/spammy/webb-y things, even though it gets higher evaluation results
  >>> # than the original GPT-2 accross a variety of benchmarks. See the first output.
  >>> generator("Hello, I'm a language model,", max_length=30, num_return_sequences=5)
  Setting `pad_token_id` to `eos_token_id`:50256 for open-end generation.

  Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:
  
  ```python
  from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('olm/olm-gpt2-oct-2022')
  model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('olm/olm-gpt2-oct-2022')
  text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
  encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
  output = model(**encoded_input)
  ```
  
  ## Dataset
  
  The model and tokenizer were trained with this [October 2022 cleaned Common Crawl dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/olm/olm-CC-MAIN-2022-40-sampling-ratio-0.15894621295) plus this [October 2022 cleaned Wikipedia dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/olm/olm-wikipedia-20221001).\
  The tokenized version of these concatenated datasets is [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/olm/olm-october-2022-tokenized-1024).\
  The datasets were created with this [repo](https://github.com/huggingface/olm-datasets).
  
  ## Training
  
  The model was trained according to the OLM GPT2 instructions at this [repo](https://github.com/huggingface/olm-training).
  
  ## Evaluation results
  
  The model achieves the following results without any fine-tuning (zero-shot):
