Hardy_Thomas

Thomas Hardy - GRPO Style Transfer Model

This model was fine-tuned using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to mimic the literary style of Thomas Hardy.

Model Details

• Base Model: rshwndsz/Llama-3.1-8B-SFT
• Method: GRPO (Reinforcement Learning)
• Target Style: Thomas Hardy (based on Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman)
• Dataset: Fine-tuned on literary extracts and stylistic preferences.

How to Use

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
from textwrap import dedent

model_id = "VibrantVista/Hardy_Thomas"
author_name = "Hardy, Thomas"
book_title = "Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman"
plot = "The weather was very rainy and cold." # Replace with your own plot

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id, 
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, 
    device_map="auto"
)

# Strict Prompt Format used in Training
prompt = dedent(f"""\
# Style Target
Author: {author_name}
Title: {book_title}

Task: Write an original, polished literary short story between 1,200 and 1,500 words about {plot} in this style.
Constraints:
- Do NOT mention the author or title in the story text.
- Final line must be exactly: THE END.

Story:
""")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True).to(model.device)

# Using optimized parameters for creative writing
outputs = model.generate(
    inputs, 
    max_new_tokens=2200,
    temperature=0.9,
    top_p=0.95,
    min_p=0.05,
    repetition_penalty=1.05
)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
