# GPT-Neo 2.7B - Picard
## Model Description
GPT-Neo 2.7B-Picard is a finetune created using EleutherAI's GPT-Neo 2.7B model.
## Training data
The training data contains around 1800 ebooks, mostly in the sci-fi and fantasy genres.
### How to use
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text generation. This example generates a different sequence each time it's run:
```py
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='mrseeker87/GPT-Neo-2.7B-Picard')
>>> generator("Jean-Luc Picard", do_sample=True, min_length=50)
[{'generated_text': 'Jean-Luc Picard, the captain of a Federation starship in command of one of Starfleet's few fulltime scientists.'}]
```
### Limitations and Biases
GPT-Neo was trained as an autoregressive language model. This means that its core functionality is taking a string of text and predicting the next token. While language models are widely used for tasks other than this, there are a lot of unknowns with this work.
GPT-Neo was trained on the Pile, a dataset known to contain profanity, lewd, and otherwise abrasive language. Depending on your usecase GPT-Neo may produce socially unacceptable text. See Sections 5 and 6 of the Pile paper for a more detailed analysis of the biases in the Pile.
As with all language models, it is hard to predict in advance how GPT-Neo will respond to particular prompts and offensive content may occur without warning. We recommend having a human curate or filter the outputs before releasing them, both to censor undesirable content and to improve the quality of the results. 
### BibTeX entry and citation info
The model is made using the following software:
