PocketGPT_27M

pocketGPT-27M — A Custom 27M Parameter GPT Model Trained From Scratch

pocketGPT-27M is a fully custom GPT-style language model, trained entirely from scratch using:

• A 24k Byte-Level BPE tokenizer
• A Transformer architecture (10 layers, 6 heads, 384-d hidden size)
• A 384-token context window
• ~165M-token pretraining corpus
• ~4.5M-token instruction tuning dataset

This project demonstrates how a compact GPT model can be designed, trained, and deployed end-to-end without relying on any pretrained weights.

Training Overview

Pretraining

• Objective: Causal Language Modeling
• Dataset: ~165M tokens of ML/AI literature
• Hardware: NVIDIA T4 (Kaggle)
• Precision: FP16
• Epochs: 3
• Optimizer: AdamW

Instruction Finetuning

• Dataset: ~4.5M tokens
• Format: <|bos|>Instruction: ... Response: ... <|eos|>
• Purpose: Improve conversational and Q&A ability
• Result: Evaluation loss decreased consistently (no overfitting observed)

Intended Use

• Educational LLMs
• Lightweight research models
• Offline/local small-scale chatbots
• ML students exploring LLM training

Not intended for production or safety-critical use.

Usage Example

from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2TokenizerFast
import torch
import os

os.environ["HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN"] = "Your Tokens"

model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("Amogh1221/PocketGPT_27M")
tokenizer = GPT2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("Amogh1221/PocketGPT_27M")

def ask(prompt):
    formatted = f"<|bos|>Instruction: {prompt}\nResponse:"
    
    inputs = tokenizer.encode(formatted, return_tensors="pt")
    inputs = inputs.to(model.device) 

    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(
            inputs,
            max_length=384,
            do_sample=True,
            top_p=0.9,
            temperature=0.8,
            eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
            pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id
        )

    print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
