# RITA-M

RITA is a family of autoregressive protein models, developed by a collaboration of [Lighton](https://lighton.ai/), the [OATML group](https://oatml.cs.ox.ac.uk/) at Oxford, and the [Debbie Marks Lab](https://www.deboramarkslab.com/) at Harvard.

## Usage 
Instantiate a model like so:
``` python
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("lightonai/RITA_m, trust_remote_code=True")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("lightonai/RITA_m")
```
for generation we support pipelines:
``` python
from transformers import pipeline
rita_gen = pipeline('text-generation', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
sequences = rita_gen("MAB", max_length=20, do_sample=True, top_k=950, repetition_penalty=1.2, 
                     num_return_sequences=2, eos_token_id=2)
for seq in sequences:
    print(f"seq: {seq['generated_text'].replace(' ', '')}")
```
