Karpathy GPT model on GitHub

Wednesday 8th December, 2021 - Bruce Sterling

*It’s a neural net architecture, but it’s so small and compact. I can put all its python code into one blog post. So, why not? At the Share Artmaker Blog, we’re here to serve!

Andrei Karpathy is the director of AI at Tesla, leading the Autopilot Vision team. Previously OpenAI, CS231n, PhD @ Stanford.

“””
GPT model:
– the initial stem consists of a combination of token encoding and a positional encoding
– the meat of it is a uniform sequence of Transformer blocks
– each Transformer is a sequential combination of a 1-hidden-layer MLP block and a self-attention block
– all blocks feed into a central residual pathway similar to resnets
– the final decoder is a linear projection into a vanilla Softmax classifier

This long function is unfortunately doing something very simple and is being very defensive:
We are separating out all parameters of the model into two buckets: those that will experience
weight decay for regularization and those that won’t (biases, and layernorm/embedding weights).
We are then returning the PyTorch optimizer object.
