# GPT-NeoX-Japanese

## Overview

We introduce GPT-NeoX-Japanese, which is an autoregressive language model for Japanese, trained on top of [https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox).
Japanese is a unique language with its large vocabulary and a combination of hiragana, katakana, and kanji writing scripts.
To address this distinct structure of the Japanese language, we use a [special sub-word tokenizer](https://github.com/tanreinama/Japanese-BPEEncoder_V2). We are very grateful to *tanreinama* for open-sourcing this incredibly helpful tokenizer.
Following the recommendations from Google's research on [PaLM](https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.html), we have removed bias parameters from transformer blocks, achieving better model performance. Please refer [this article](https://medium.com/ml-abeja/training-a-better-gpt-2-93b157662ae4) in detail.

Development of the model was led by [Shinya Otani](https://github.com/SO0529), [Takayoshi Makabe](https://github.com/spider-man-tm), [Anuj Arora](https://github.com/Anuj040), and [Kyo Hattori](https://github.com/go5paopao) from [ABEJA, Inc.](https://www.abejainc.com/). For more information on this model-building activity, please refer [here (ja)](https://tech-blog.abeja.asia/entry/abeja-gpt-project-202207).

### Generation

The `generate()` method can be used to generate text using GPT NeoX Japanese model.

```python
>>> from transformers import GPTNeoXJapaneseForCausalLM, GPTNeoXJapaneseTokenizer

>>> model = GPTNeoXJapaneseForCausalLM.from_pretrained("abeja/gpt-neox-japanese-2.7b")
>>> tokenizer = GPTNeoXJapaneseTokenizer.from_pretrained("abeja/gpt-neox-japanese-2.7b")

>>> prompt = "人とAIが協調するためには、"

>>> 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, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

>>> print(gen_text)
人とAIが協調するためには、AIと人が共存し、AIを正しく理解する必要があります。
```
