# GPT-J 6B
## Model Description
GPT-J 6B is a transformer model trained using Ben Wang's [Mesh Transformer JAX](https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax/). "GPT-J" refers to the class of model, while "6B" represents the number of trainable parameters.

The model consists of 28 layers with a model dimension of 4096, and a feedforward dimension of 16384. The model
dimension is split into 16 heads, each with a dimension of 256. Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) is applied to 64
dimensions of each head. The model is trained with a tokenization vocabulary of 50257, using the same set of BPEs as
GPT-2/GPT-3.
## Intended Use and Limitations
GPT-J learns an inner representation of the English language that can be used to
extract features useful for downstream tasks. The model is best at what it was
pretrained for however, which is generating text from a prompt.
### Out-of-scope use
GPT-J-6B is **not** intended for deployment without fine-tuning, supervision,
and/or moderation. It is not a in itself a product and cannot be used for
human-facing interactions. For example, the model may generate harmful or
offensive text. Please evaluate the risks associated with your particular use case.
GPT-J-6B was trained on an English-language only dataset, and is thus **not**
suitable for translation or generating text in other languages.
GPT-J-6B has not been fine-tuned for downstream contexts in which
language models are commonly deployed, such as writing genre prose,
or commercial chatbots. This means GPT-J-6B will **not**
respond to a given prompt the way a product like ChatGPT does. This is because,
unlike this model, ChatGPT was fine-tuned using methods such as Reinforcement
Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to better “follow” human instructions.
### Limitations and Biases
The core functionality of GPT-J 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. When prompting GPT-J it is important to remember that the statistically most likely next token is often not the token that produces the most "accurate" text. Never depend upon GPT-J to produce factually accurate output.
GPT-J was trained on the Pile, a dataset known to contain profanity, lewd, and otherwise abrasive language. Depending upon use case GPT-J may produce socially unacceptable text. See [Sections 5 and 6 of the Pile paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027) 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-J 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.
### How to use
This model can be easily loaded using the `AutoModelForCausalLM` functionality:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B")
```
## Training data
GPT-J 6B was trained on [the Pile](https://pile.eleuther.ai), a large-scale curated dataset created by [EleutherAI](https://www.eleuther.ai).
## Training procedure
This model was trained for 402 billion tokens over 383,500 steps on TPU v3-256 pod. It was trained as an autoregressive language model, using cross-entropy loss to maximize the likelihood of predicting the next token correctly.

<p><strong>†</strong> Megatron-11B provides no comparable metrics, and several implementations using the released weights do not
reproduce the generation quality and evaluations. (see <a href="https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/10301">1</a>

Thus, evaluation was not attempted.</p>
<p><strong>‡</strong> These models have been trained with data which contains possible test set contamination. The OpenAI GPT-3 models
failed to deduplicate training data for certain test sets, while the GPT-Neo models as well as this one is
trained on the Pile, which has not been deduplicated against any test sets.</p></figcaption></figure>
