Generation Samples

Text generated with temperature=0.8, top_k=50, top_p=0.95, repetition_penalty=1.2:

Prompt: The history of artificial intelligence

The history of artificial intelligence has not been discovered in the ancient Egyptian @-@ era period , with a variety of scientific and educational institutions such as those from the Middle Ages to the 13th century . These include the Authorsian Archaeological Institute ( now called the University of Egypt ) , the British Museum of Archaeology and Art .

Prompt: In a distant galaxy, far beyond

In a distant galaxy, far beyond Earth , it is the only planet of its class .

Prompt: The economy of the United States

The economy of the United States was based on large @-@ scale industries ; a large majority , including many smaller states and cities . The nation 's population growth in agriculture increased from around $ 2 billion to $ 3 @.@ 6 million . This growth continued throughout the 1970s to 80 percent during the 1980s .

Dataset

WikiText-103-raw-v1 — a collection of over 100 million tokens extracted from verified Good and Featured articles on Wikipedia.

Split	Raw Lines	Cleaned Paragraphs	Tokens
Train	1,801,350	874,786	111,960,667
Validation	3,760	1,863	234,817
Test	4,358	—	—

After tokenization, the corpus was concatenated and chunked into fixed-length sequences of 1,024 tokens, yielding 109,336 training sequences and 229 validation sequences.

Usage

python

from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, PreTrainedTokenizerFast

model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("gpt_wikitext103/final_model")
tokenizer = PreTrainedTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("gpt_wikitext103/final_model")

input_ids = tokenizer.encode("The history of", return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.8,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95,
    repetition_penalty=1.2,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Reproducing

Install dependencies:

pip install torch transformers datasets tokenizers matplotlib tqdm
Run the training notebook:

jupyter notebook train_gpt_wikitext103.ipynb

Execute all cells sequentially. Training takes approximately 7 hours on a single T4 GPU.

Limitations

Trained on Wikipedia text only — the model reflects Wikipedia's style, coverage biases, and knowledge cutoff.
110M parameters is relatively small; outputs can be repetitive or incoherent over long spans.
The @-@ and @.@ artifacts in generated text come from WikiText-103's preprocessing of hyphens and decimals.
Not instruction-tuned — the model is a raw language model and will not follow instructions or answer questions reliably.
