A lightweight GPT-based language model framework for training custom question-answering models on any domain

Project description

GptMed ๐Ÿค–

A lightweight GPT-based language model framework for training custom question-answering models on any domain. This package provides a transformer-based GPT architecture that you can train on your own Q&A datasets - whether it's casual conversations, technical support, education, or any other domain.

PyPI version Python 3.8+ License: MIT

Features

  • ๐Ÿง  Custom GPT Architecture: Lightweight transformer model for any Q&A domain
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Domain-Agnostic: Train on any question-answering dataset (casual chat, tech support, education, etc.)
  • โšก Fast Inference: Optimized for quick question answering
  • ๐Ÿ”ง Flexible Training: Easy to train on your own custom datasets
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Lightweight: Small model size suitable for edge deployment
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Complete Toolkit: Includes tokenizer training, model training, and inference utilities

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install gptmed

From Source

git clone https://github.com/sigdelsanjog/gptmed.git
cd gptmed
pip install -e .

With Optional Dependencies

# For development
pip install gptmed[dev]

# For training
pip install gptmed[training]

# All dependencies
pip install gptmed[dev,training]

Quick Start

Inference (Generate Answers)

from gptmed.inference.generator import TextGenerator
from gptmed.model.architecture import GPTTransformer
from gptmed.model.configs.model_config import get_small_config

# Load model
config = get_small_config()
model = GPTTransformer(config)

# Load your trained checkpoint
# model.load_state_dict(torch.load('path/to/checkpoint.pt'))

# Create generator
generator = TextGenerator(
    model=model,
    tokenizer_path='path/to/tokenizer.model'
)

# Generate answer
question = "What's your favorite programming language?"
answer = generator.generate(
    prompt=question,
    max_length=100,
    temperature=0.7
)

print(f"Q: {question}")
print(f"A: {answer}")

Using Command Line

# Generate answers
gptmed-generate --prompt "How do I train a custom model?" --max-length 100

# Train model
gptmed-train --model-size small --num-epochs 10 --batch-size 16

Training Your Own Model

from gptmed.training.train import main
from gptmed.configs.train_config import get_default_config
from gptmed.model.configs.model_config import get_small_config

# Configure training
train_config = get_default_config()
train_config.batch_size = 16
train_config.num_epochs = 10
train_config.learning_rate = 3e-4

# Start training
main()

Model Architecture

The model uses a custom GPT-based transformer architecture:

  • Embedding: Token + positional embeddings
  • Transformer Blocks: Multi-head self-attention + feed-forward networks
  • Parameters: ~10M (small), ~50M (medium)
  • Context Length: 512 tokens
  • Vocabulary: Custom SentencePiece tokenizer trained on your data

Configuration

Model Sizes

from gptmed.model.configs.model_config import (
    get_tiny_config,   # ~2M parameters - for testing
    get_small_config,  # ~10M parameters - recommended
    get_medium_config  # ~50M parameters - higher quality
)

Training Configuration

from gptmed.configs.train_config import TrainingConfig

config = TrainingConfig(
    batch_size=16,
    learning_rate=3e-4,
    num_epochs=10,
    warmup_steps=100,
    grad_clip=1.0
)
