# Pendo GPT-2 Medium Teacher Model

## Model Description

This is a **GPT2-MEDIUM (355M parameters)** model fine-tuned on WikiText-103 (full) + Wikipedia EN (20231101, 30%) for text generation and prediction tasks. It serves as part of the Pendo Text Editor's predictive text system.

**Key Features:**
- 🎯 Fine-tuned on full WikiText-103 (full) + Wikipedia EN (20231101, 30%) dataset
- ⚡ Optimized training on 2x NVIDIA H100 80GB
- 📚 Excellent text generation quality
- 🚀 Production-ready for real-time predictions

**Project:** [Pendo Text Editor](https://github.com/dimitribekale/pendo-text-editor) - A modern text editor with AI-powered predictive text

## Model Details

**Architecture:** GPT2-MEDIUM
- Parameters: 355M
- Layers: 24
- Hidden size: 1024
- Attention heads: 16
- Context length: 1024 tokens

**Training Infrastructure:**
- Hardware: 2x NVIDIA H100 80GB
- Training time: ~3 hours
- Mixed precision: bf16
- Framework: PyTorch + HuggingFace Transformers

## Training Details

### Dataset
- **Training Data:** WikiText-103 (full) + Wikipedia EN (20231101, 30%)
- **Total Size:** ~100M+ tokens
- **Train/Validation Split:** 90% train, 10% validation
- **Data Quality:** High-quality Wikipedia-style text from curated sources
- **Knowledge Cutoff:** 2023

### Hyperparameters
```python
Training Configuration:
├─ Epochs: 3
├─ Batch size: 16 per device (effective: 128 with gradient accumulation)
├─ Learning rate: 3e-5 (cosine with 1000 warmup steps)
├─ Block size: 512 tokens
├─ Weight decay: 0.01
├─ Gradient clipping: 1.0
└─ Optimizer: AdamW
```

### Optimizations

- ✅ bf16 mixed precision training (2-3x speedup)
- ✅ Gradient accumulation (stable large-batch training)
- ✅ cosine with 1000 warmup steps learning rate schedule
- ✅ Multi-GPU training with Distributed Data Parallel
- ✅ Proper train/validation split (no data leakage)

## Performance

## Usage

### Basic Text Generation

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

# Load model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bekalebendong/pendo-gpt2-medium-teacher")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bekalebendong/pendo-gpt2-medium-teacher")

# Generate text
prompt = "The history of"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=50,
    do_sample=True,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95,
    temperature=0.8
)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

### For Text Prediction (Pendo Editor)

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Create prediction pipeline
predictor = pipeline('text-generation', model="bekalebendong/pendo-gpt2-medium-teacher")

# Get next word predictions
text = "Machine learning is"
predictions = predictor(
    text,
    max_new_tokens=1,
    num_return_sequences=5,
    return_full_text=False
)

for pred in predictions:
    print(pred['generated_text'])
```

## Intended Use

### Primary Use Cases

1. **Text Prediction:** Real-time text suggestions in editors
2. **Text Generation:** General-purpose text completion
3. **Fine-tuning Base:** Starting point for domain-specific models
4. **Research:** Educational and research purposes

### Deployment Targets

- Local applications (desktop/laptop)
- Cloud inference APIs
- Edge devices (with quantization)

## Limitations

- **Domain:** Primarily trained on Wikipedia-style text
- **Recency:** Knowledge cutoff at 2023 (based on training data: WikiText-103 (full) + Wikipedia EN (20231101, 30%))
- **Bias:** May reflect biases present in Wikipedia
- **Size:** 355M parameters requires storage
- **Languages:** English only

## Ethical Considerations

- **Bias Mitigation:** Model may perpetuate biases from Wikipedia
- **Fact Accuracy:** Generated text should not be assumed factual
- **Misuse Prevention:** Not intended for generating misleading content
- **Attribution:** Generated text should not be presented as human-written
