![mingpt](mingpt.jpg)

A PyTorch re-implementation of [GPT](https://github.com/openai/gpt-2), both training and inference. minGPT tries to be small, clean, interpretable and educational, as most of the currently available GPT model implementations can a bit sprawling. GPT is not a complicated model and this implementation is appropriately about 300 lines of code (see [mingpt/model.py](mingpt/model.py)). All that's going on is that a sequence of indices feeds into a [Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762), and a probability distribution over the next index in the sequence comes out. The majority of the complexity is just being clever with batching (both across examples and over sequence length) for efficiency.

**note (Jan 2023)**: though I may continue to accept and change some details, minGPT is in a semi-archived state. For more recent developments see my rewrite [nanoGPT](https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT). Basically, minGPT became referenced across a wide variety of places (notebooks, blogs, courses, books, etc.) which made me less willing to make the bigger changes I wanted to make to move the code forward. I also wanted to change the direction a bit, from a sole focus on education to something that is still simple and hackable but has teeth (reproduces medium-sized industry benchmarks, accepts some tradeoffs to gain runtime efficiency, etc).
