How to Get Started with the Model
This pre-trained (causal language modeling) model can only be used for text-generation and requires further fine-tuning on downstream tasks.
How to use
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text generation.
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> generator = pipeline('text-generation', model="dice-research/lola_v1", trust_remote_code=True)
>>> generator("The quick brown fox", max_length=13)
[{'generated_text': 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'}]
To use the top-k sampling, please set do_sample
to True
.
Note: The tokenizer used in the model comes from mGPT (https://github.com/ai-forever/mgpt)
