Model Card for GPT2-Chat (Fine-tuned)
This is a fine-tuned version of GPT-2 adapted for chat-style generation.
It was trained on conversational data to make GPT-2 behave more like ChatGPT, giving more interactive, coherent, and context-aware responses.
Model Details
Model Description
- Developed by: Faijan Khan
- Shared by: faizack
- Model type: Causal Language Model (decoder-only transformer)
- Language(s): English
- License: MIT (or same as GPT-2)
- Finetuned from: gpt2
Model Sources
- Repository: https://huggingface.co/faizack/gpt2-chat-ft
- Paper [GPT-2 original]: Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners
Uses
Direct Use
- Conversational AI experiments
- Chatbot prototyping
- Educational or research purposes
Downstream Use
- Further fine-tuning for domain-specific dialogue (e.g., customer support, tutoring, storytelling).
Out-of-Scope Use
- Not intended for production use without additional safety layers.
- Not suitable for sensitive domains like medical, legal, or financial advice.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
- May generate biased, offensive, or factually incorrect responses (inherited from GPT-2).
- Not aligned with RLHF like ChatGPT, so safety guardrails are minimal.
Recommendations
- Use with human oversight.
- Add filtering, moderation, or reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) if deploying in production.
How to Get Started with the Model
from transformers import pipeline
chatbot = pipeline("text-generation", model="faizack/gpt2-chat-ft")
prompt = "Hello, how are you?"
response = chatbot(prompt, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7)
print(response[0]["generated_text"])
Training Details
