🦙 AlpacaX — LoRA-Enhanced GPT-2 CLI Chatbot

AlpacaX is a Python CLI chatbot built on top of a fine-tuned GPT-2 model with LoRA (Low-Rank Adapters) for modular, instruction-following interactions.
This tool lets you chat with different personas or skillsets — poetry, math, philosophy — by loading lightweight LoRA adapters defined in a simple JSON config.

🚀 Features

• 🧠 Fine-tuned GPT-2 backbone (SullyGreene/gpt2-alpacax-clean)
• 🧩 Pluggable LoRA adapters for dynamic behavior
• 💬 Structured prompt format (Alpaca-style with <instruction>, <input>, <output>)
• ⚙️ Easy-to-edit adapters.json for adding new personas
• 📦 Clean CLI experience with alpacax command

📥 Installation

pip install alpacax

Requires Python 3.8+

💡 Usage

alpacax

Then follow the CLI prompt to choose an adapter and start chatting.

Example conversation:

📚 Available Adapters:
 - poetry
 - philosophy
 - math

🔍 Choose adapter (default: poetry):
🧑 You: write a poem about the stars
🤖 AlpacaX:  
  Stars whisper through time,  
  Echoes of light in the void,  
  Dreaming in silence.

🔧 Configuration: adapters.json

This file lives inside the alpacax package and defines which LoRA adapters are available:

{
  "default": "SullyGreene/gpt2-lora-alpacax",
  "adapters": {
    "poetry": "SullyGreene/gpt2-lora-alpacax",
    "math": "your-org/gpt2-lora-math",
    "philosophy": "your-org/gpt2-lora-philosophy"
  }
}

Update it to include new instruction-following LoRA adapters hosted on 🤗 Hugging Face Hub.
