NeMo Megatron-GPT 1.3B
Model Description
Megatron-GPT 1.3B is a transformer-based language model. GPT refers to a class of transformer decoder-only models similar to GPT-2 and 3 while 1.3B refers to the total trainable parameter count (1.3 Billion) [1, 2]. It has Tensor Parallelism (TP) of 1, Pipeline Parallelism (PP) of 1 and should fit on a single NVIDIA GPU.
This model was trained with NeMo Megatron.
Getting started
Step 1: Install NeMo and dependencies
You will need to install NVIDIA Apex and NeMo.
git clone https://github.com/ericharper/apex.git
cd apex
git checkout nm_v1.11.0
pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" --global-option="--fast_layer_norm" --global-option="--distributed_adam" --global-option="--deprecated_fused_adam" ./
pip install nemo_toolkit['nlp']==1.11.0
Alternatively, you can use NeMo Megatron training docker container with all dependencies pre-installed.
Step 2: Launch eval server
Note. The model has been trained with Tensor Parallelism (TP) of 1 and Pipeline Parallelism (PP) of 1 and should fit on a single NVIDIA GPU.
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo.git
cd NeMo/examples/nlp/language_modeling
git checkout v1.11.0
python megatron_gpt_eval.py gpt_model_file=nemo_gpt1.3B_fp16.nemo server=True tensor_model_parallel_size=1 trainer.devices=1
Step 3: Send prompts to your model!
import json
import requests
port_num = 5555
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
def request_data(data):
resp = requests.put('http://localhost:{}/generate'.format(port_num),
data=json.dumps(data),
headers=headers)
sentences = resp.json()['sentences']
return sentences
data = {
"sentences": ["Tell me an interesting fact about space travel."]*1,
"tokens_to_generate": 50,
"temperature": 1.0,
"add_BOS": True,
"top_k": 0,
"top_p": 0.9,
"greedy": False,
"all_probs": False,
"repetition_penalty": 1.2,
"min_tokens_to_generate": 2,
}
sentences = request_data(data)
print(sentences)
Training Data
The model was trained on "The Piles" dataset prepared by Eleuther.AI. [4]
Evaluation results
Zero-shot performance. Evaluated using LM Evaluation Test Suite from AI21

Limitations
The model was trained on the data originally crawled from the Internet. This data contains toxic language and societal biases. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts.
