GPT-SW3 is a collection of large decoder-only pretrained transformer language models that were developed by AI Sweden in collaboration with RISE and the WASP WARA for Media and Language. GPT-SW3 has been trained on a dataset containing 320B tokens in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, English, and programming code. The model was pretrained using a causal language modeling (CLM) objective utilizing the NeMo Megatron GPT implementation.

# Intended use
GPT-SW3 is an autoregressive large language model that is capable of generating coherent text in 5 different languages, and 4 programming languages. GPT-SW3 can also be instructed to perform text tasks that it has not been explicitly trained for, by casting them as text generation tasks. AI Sweden shares GPT-SW3 in a controlled pre-release with organizations and individuals in the Nordic NLP ecosystem who can contribute to the validation and testing of the models and provide feedback to the community. This is an important step in the process of validating the model and collecting feedback on both what works well and what does not.

# Limitations
Like other large language models for which the diversity (or lack thereof) of training data induces downstream impact on the quality of our model, GPT-SW3 has limitations in terms of for example bias and safety. GPT-SW3 can also have quality issues in terms of generation diversity and hallucination. By releasing with the modified RAIL license, we also hope to increase communication, transparency, and the study of large language models. The model may: overrepresent some viewpoints and underrepresent others, contain stereotypes, generate hateful, abusive, violent, discriminatory or prejudicial language. The model may make errors, including producing incorrect information as if it were factual, it may generate irrelevant or repetitive outputs, and content that may not be appropriate for all settings, including sexual content.

# How to use
To be able to access the model from Python, since this is a private repository, you have to log in with your access token. This can be done with `huggingface-cli login`, see [HuggingFace Quick Start Guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#login) for more information.

The following code snippet loads our tokenizer & model, and uses the GPU if available.

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

# Initialize Variables
model_name = "AI-Sweden-Models/gpt-sw3-126m"
device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
prompt = "Träd är fina för att"

# Initialize Tokenizer & Model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.eval()
model.to(device)
```

Generating text using the `generate` method is done as follows:
```python
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")["input_ids"].to(device)

generated_token_ids = model.generate(
    inputs=input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=1,
)[0]

generated_text = tokenizer.decode(generated_token_ids)    
```

A convenient alternative to the `generate` method is the HuggingFace pipeline, which handles most of the work for you:
```python
generator = pipeline('text-generation', tokenizer=tokenizer, model=model, device=device)
generated = generator(prompt, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, temperature=0.6, top_p=1)[0]["generated_text"]
```
