### Model Overview
GPT-2 is a language model published by OpenAI. Models are fine tuned on WebText, and range in size from 125 million to 1.5 billion parameters. See the model card below for benchmarks, data sources, and intended use cases.

Weights are released under the [MIT License](https://opensource.org/license/mit). Keras model code is released under the [Apache 2 License](https://github.com/keras-team/keras-hub/blob/master/LICENSE).

## Installation

Keras and KerasHub can be installed with:

```
pip install -U -q keras-hub
pip install -U -q keras>=3
```

Jax, TensorFlow, and Torch come preinstalled in Kaggle Notebooks. For instruction on installing them in another environment see the [Keras Getting Started](https://keras.io/getting_started/) page.

## Presets

The following model checkpoints are provided by the Keras team. Full code examples for each are available below.

| Preset name                | Parameters | Description                                                                                          |

## Prompts

GPT-2 models are fine tuned on WebText. Prompting should follow text completion formatting. See the following for an example:

```python
prompt = "Keras is a "
```

would have GPT-2 aim to complete the sentence.

## Example Usage
```python
import keras
import keras_hub
import numpy as np
```

Use `generate()` to do text generation.
```python
gpt2_lm = keras_hub.models.GPT2CausalLM.from_preset("gpt2_base_en")
gpt2_lm.generate("I want to say", max_length=30)

# Generate with batched prompts.
gpt2_lm.generate(["This is a", "Where are you"], max_length=30)
```

Compile the `generate()` function with a custom sampler.
```python
gpt2_lm = keras_hub.models.GPT2CausalLM.from_preset("gpt2_base_en")
gpt2_lm.compile(sampler="greedy")
gpt2_lm.generate("I want to say", max_length=30)

gpt2_lm.compile(sampler=keras_hub.samplers.BeamSampler(num_beams=2))
gpt2_lm.generate("I want to say", max_length=30)
```

Use `generate()` without preprocessing.
```python
# Prompt the model with `5338, 318` (the token ids for `"Who is"`).
# Use `"padding_mask"` to indicate values that should not be overridden.
prompt = {
    "token_ids": np.array([[5338, 318, 0, 0, 0]] * 2),
    "padding_mask": np.array([[1, 1, 0, 0, 0]] * 2),
}

gpt2_lm = keras_hub.models.GPT2CausalLM.from_preset(
    "gpt2_base_en",
    preprocessor=None,
)
gpt2_lm.generate(prompt)
```

Call `fit()` on a single batch.
```python
features = ["The quick brown fox jumped.", "I forgot my homework."]
gpt2_lm = keras_hub.models.GPT2CausalLM.from_preset("gpt2_base_en")
gpt2_lm.fit(x=features, batch_size=2)
```

Call `fit()` without preprocessing.
```python
x = {
    "token_ids": np.array([[50256, 1, 2, 3, 4]] * 2),
    "padding_mask": np.array([[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]] * 2),
}
y = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 50256]] * 2)
sw = np.array([[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]] * 2)

gpt2_lm = keras_hub.models.GPT2CausalLM.from_preset(
    "gpt2_base_en",
    preprocessor=None,
)
gpt2_lm.fit(x=x, y=y, sample_weight=sw, batch_size=2)
```
