  • Where is the engineering part in "prompt engineer"?
    6 projects | /r/datascience | 30 Jun 2023
    It's literally a wrapper for the ChatGPT API (currently). I have another library for training models from scratch but haven't had time to work on it.
  • self-hosted AI?
    11 projects | /r/selfhosted | 28 Mar 2023
    I'm experimenting with https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen for some some simple tasks. It is pretty much a wrapper around gpt2 and gpt neox models.
  • How would I go about implementing warmup steps from the Transformers library?
    1 project | /r/learnmachinelearning | 1 Mar 2023
    I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I wasn't sure where else to turn. Several of us have already opened an issue with AITextGen, but it seems that the maintainer isn't particularly active these days. I'm a fairly proficient developer (self-taught), and I know my way around ML, but I was not formally-educated in deep learning. A lot of Pytorch-Lightning looks like black magic, to me. I suspect that I'm missing an important detail that would be fairly simple for many of you to identify.

    To train small gpt-like models, there's also aitextgen: https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen

    1 project | /r/LivestreamFail | 7 Jan 2023
    It's actually relatively easy to train your own GPT model and there are multiple tools out there that make it almost just plug and play: https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen
  • Is there a place with all the models indexed?
    1 project | /r/StableDiffusion | 29 Oct 2022
    I've been learning python and for the past few days, I've been playing around with the aitextgen library.
  • I built an AI model to auto-generate Dominion cards. Here are the hilariously bad results.
    1 project | /r/dominion | 27 Sep 2022
    Then I ran that through the ai and got it to spit out cards that looked like that training data. I used aitextgen. So I let it run for like 4 hours and it thinks it has made 10,000 rows of cards. But some of these cards are duplicates to each other or to cards that already exist, or use a card name that already exists in the original game, or have like 20 '|' characters in one row, or have zero '|'. So I run a script to remove all of these cards like that, and I end up with like 2,000-4,500 cards that are "functional".
  • Thoughts on GPT3?
    1 project | /r/ArtificialInteligence | 13 Jul 2022
    If you search this subreddit, you should find lots of discussions about it, as well as alternatives like GPT-J (open source). If you'd like to experiment with GPT-2 for text generation, try https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen. It's fun to play with.
  • Show HN: Tensorpedia – Using GPT-2 to synthesize Wikipedia articles
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jan 2022
    Hey HN! I've been lurking for a while now and I've finally created something that I feel is worth sharing.

    I've called this project "Tensorpedia." At its core, Tensorpedia takes in a title and utilizes it as a prompt for GPT-2 to synthesize the introductory part of a Wikipedia article. The machine learning stuff is written using a wonderful library called aitextgen [0], using Wikipedia's "Vital Articles" as a data set [1]. The server is written in Node, and it uses Redis as an article cache. If you want to read my article about it (for some reason), you can check it out here [2].

    I created this project to get more experience with server technologies. While I wouldn't say it's a complicated application, I learned quite a lot from it.

    Additionally, as I was inspired by all of those this-x-doesn't-exist projects from a while back, this project is mostly for fun. As such, I don't know how much practical use it has, but I've generated some pretty hilarious articles from it.

  • Downloaded GPT-2, Encode.py, and Train.py not found.
    2 projects | /r/GPT3 | 8 Jan 2022
    If by downloaded you mean clone the gpt-2 github repo it doesn't come with those scripts. I personally played around with https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen which is a simple wrapper around the gpt-2 code, it comes with some very clear usage. (Shout out to minimaxir and everyone else involved in aitextgen for making using gpt-2 easy to use!)
