# GPT-J

## Overview

The [GPT-J](https://arankomatsuzaki.wordpress.com/2021/06/04/gpt-j/) model was released in the [kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax](https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax) repository by Ben Wang and Aran Komatsuzaki. It is a GPT-2-like
causal language model trained on [the Pile](https://pile.eleuther.ai/) dataset.

This model was contributed by [Stella Biderman](https://huggingface.co/stellaathena).

## Usage tips

- To load [GPT-J](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B) in float32 one would need at least 2x model size
  RAM: 1x for initial weights and another 1x to load the checkpoint. So for GPT-J it would take at least 48GB
  RAM to just load the model. To reduce the RAM usage there are a few options. The `dtype` argument can be
  used to initialize the model in half-precision on a CUDA device only. There is also a fp16 branch which stores the fp16 weights,
  which could be used to further minimize the RAM usage:

```python
>>> from transformers import GPTJForCausalLM
from accelerate import Accelerator
>>> import torch

>>> device = Accelerator().device
>>> model = GPTJForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
...     "EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B",
...     revision="float16",
...     dtype=torch.float16,
... ).to(device)
```

- The model should fit on 16GB GPU for inference. For training/fine-tuning it would take much more GPU RAM. Adam
  optimizer for example makes four copies of the model: model, gradients, average and squared average of the gradients.
  So it would need at least 4x model size GPU memory, even with mixed precision as gradient updates are in fp32. This
  is not including the activations and data batches, which would again require some more GPU RAM. So one should explore
  solutions such as DeepSpeed, to train/fine-tune the model. Another option is to use the original codebase to
  train/fine-tune the model on TPU and then convert the model to Transformers format for inference. Instructions for
  that could be found [here](https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax/blob/master/howto_finetune.md)

- Although the embedding matrix has a size of 50400, only 50257 entries are used by the GPT-2 tokenizer. These extra
  tokens are added for the sake of efficiency on TPUs. To avoid the mismatch between embedding matrix size and vocab
  size, the tokenizer for [GPT-J](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B) contains 143 extra tokens
  `... `, so the `vocab_size` of tokenizer also becomes 50400.

## Usage examples

The [generate()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/text_generation#transformers.GenerationMixin.generate) method can be used to generate text using GPT-J
model.

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

>>> model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B")

>>> prompt = (
...     "In a shocking finding, scientists discovered a herd of unicorns living in a remote, "
...     "previously unexplored valley, in the Andes Mountains. Even more surprising to the "
...     "researchers was the fact that the unicorns spoke perfect English."
... )

>>> input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

>>> gen_tokens = model.generate(
...     input_ids,
...     do_sample=True,
...     temperature=0.9,
...     max_length=100,
... )
>>> gen_text = tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens)[0]
```

...or in float16 precision:

```python
>>> from transformers import GPTJForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from accelerate import Accelerator
>>> import torch

>>> device = Accelerator().device
>>> model = GPTJForCausalLM.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B", dtype=torch.float16).to(device)
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B")

>>> prompt = (
...     "In a shocking finding, scientists discovered a herd of unicorns living in a remote, "
...     "previously unexplored valley, in the Andes Mountains. Even more surprising to the "
...     "researchers was the fact that the unicorns spoke perfect English."
... )

>>> input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(model.device)

>>> gen_tokens = model.generate(
...     input_ids,
...     do_sample=True,
...     temperature=0.9,
...     max_length=100,
... )
>>> gen_text = tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens)[0]
```

  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.

  is useful if you want more control over how to convert *input_ids* indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).

  Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned
  tensors for more detail.

elements depending on the configuration ([GPTJConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/gptj#transformers.GPTJConfig)) and inputs.

- **last_hidden_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) -- Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

- **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.
The [GPTJModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/gptj#transformers.GPTJModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

**Parameters:**

config ([GPTJModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/gptj#transformers.GPTJModel)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration.

#### transformers.GPTJForSequenceClassification[[transformers.GPTJForSequenceClassification]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.0.0/src/transformers/models/gptj/modeling_gptj.py#L810)

The GPT-J Model transformer with a sequence classification head on top (linear layer).

[GPTJForSequenceClassification](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/gptj#transformers.GPTJForSequenceClassification) uses the last token in order to do the classification, as other causal models
(e.g. GPT, GPT-2, GPT-Neo) do.

Since it does classification on the last token, it requires to know the position of the last token. If a
`pad_token_id` is defined in the configuration, it finds the last token that is not a padding token in each row. If
no `pad_token_id` is defined, it simply takes the last value in each row of the batch. Since it cannot guess the
padding tokens when `inputs_embeds` are passed instead of `input_ids`, it does the same (take the last value in
each row of the batch).

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.

  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_dim)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert *input_ids* indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size,)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the sequence classification/regression loss. Indices should be in `[0, ...,
  config.num_labels - 1]`. If `config.num_labels == 1` a regression loss is computed (Mean-Square loss), If
  `config.num_labels > 1` a classification loss is computed (Cross-Entropy).

  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).

  Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned

config ([GPTJForQuestionAnswering](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/gptj#transformers.GPTJForQuestionAnswering)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**

`[transformers.modeling_outputs.QuestionAnsweringModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.QuestionAnsweringModelOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)``

A [transformers.modeling_outputs.QuestionAnsweringModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.QuestionAnsweringModelOutput) or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([GPTJConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/gptj#transformers.GPTJConfig)) and inputs.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Total span extraction loss is the sum of a Cross-Entropy for the start and end positions.
- **start_logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) -- Span-start scores (before SoftMax).
- **end_logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) -- Span-end scores (before SoftMax).
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.
