# Import model

Example usage (text generation)

GPT-BERT also supports unidirectional text decoding, it can generate text like any other GPT model:

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "HPLT/hplt_gpt_bert_base_3_0_srp_Cyrl",
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "HPLT/hplt_gpt_bert_base_3_0_srp_Cyrl",
    trust_remote_code=True, 
    use_safetensors=False,
)
text = f"The Norwegian Constitution"
print(text, flush=True)
# Define tokens that should end the generation
eos_token_ids = [
    token_id
    for token_id in range(tokenizer.vocab_size)
    if '.' in tokenizer.decode([token_id])
]

# Generation function
@torch.no_grad()
def generate(text):
    input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt').input_ids
    prediction = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        max_new_tokens=63,
        do_sample=False,
        eos_token_id=eos_token_ids,
    )
    return tokenizer.decode(prediction[0]).strip()

# Example usage, should output '[CLS]The Norwegian Constitution[SEP]is a document that defines the rights and responsibilities of the Norwegian people and their representatives.'
print(generate(text), flush=True)

The following classes are currently implemented: AutoModel, AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoModelForQuestionAnswering and AutoModeltForMultipleChoice.

Intermediate checkpoints

We are releasing 10 intermediate checkpoints for each model at intervals of every 3125 training steps in separate branches. The naming convention is stepXXX: for example, step18750.

You can load a specific model revision with transformers using the argument revision:

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("HPLT/hplt_gpt_bert_base_3_0_srp_Cyrl", revision="step21875", trust_remote_code=True)

You can access all the revisions for the models with the following code:

python

from huggingface_hub import list_repo_refs
out = list_repo_refs("HPLT/hplt_gpt_bert_base_3_0_srp_Cyrl")
print([b.name for b in out.branches])
