## Usage

```python
from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer

# Load model and tokenizer
model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained('fischgpt-pretrain-final')
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('fischgpt-pretrain-final')

# Generate text
input_text = "The future of artificial intelligence"
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors='pt')

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(
        inputs,
        max_length=100,
        num_return_sequences=1,
        temperature=0.8,
        do_sample=True,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
    )

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

## Implementation Highlights

### Custom Components

- **CasualSelfAttention**: Implements multi-head self-attention with causal masking
- **MLP**: Feed-forward network with GELU activation and custom initialization
- **Block**: Transformer block with pre-layer normalization
