# NanoChat SFT

This is the the checkpoint from [Andrej Karpathy's](https://huggingface.co/karpathy) fullstack llm project to build an LLM, [nanochat](https://github.com/karpathy/nanochat).

## Usage

Install transformers from this specific branch:

```sh
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@nanochat-implementation
```

Then, you can run this inference snippet:

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


model_id="nanochat-students/d20-chat-transformers"
max_new_tokens=64
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=False)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=False, dtype=torch.bfloat16).to(device)
model.eval()

conversation = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"},
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    conversation,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens,
    )

# Decode only the generated tokens (excluding the input prompt)
generated_tokens = outputs[0, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:]
print(tokenizer.decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True))
```
