# nanoGPT - Character-Level Shakespeare - Weights NOT Tied

Small character-level, GPT-style language model trained on the works of Shakespeare using Andrej Karpathy's [nanoGPT repo](https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT/tree/master) from my project [LLMs Universally Learn a Feature Representing Token Frequency / Rarity](https://github.com/sosier/LLM_Token_Frequency_Feature).

## Versions

This model has two versions:
 1. [With tied embedding / unembedding weights](https://huggingface.co/sosier/nanoGPT-shakespeare-char-tied-weights) (in true GPT fashion)
 2. [Without tied embedding / unembedding weights](https://huggingface.co/sosier/nanoGPT-shakespeare-char-weights-not-tied) - **THIS PAGE**

## Usage

The model can be loaded using `AutoModel` from Hugging Face's `transformers` package:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoModel
>>> model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("sosier/nanoGPT-shakespeare-char-weights-not-tied", trust_remote_code=True)
>>> model
number of parameters: 10.67M

          (c_proj): Linear(in_features=1536, out_features=384, bias=False)

)
```

## Training Data / Token Counts

The training data token counts can be found on my GitHub repo [here](https://github.com/sosier/LLM_Token_Frequency_Feature/blob/main/token_counts/shakespeare_char_train_token_counts.json) and can be loaded using the instructions [here](https://github.com/sosier/LLM_Token_Frequency_Feature/tree/main/token_counts).

## Tokenizer

As a character-level model the tokenizer is simply a mapping for each character to its token id as given in the token counts (see section above).
