About Write With Transformer

Write With Transformer is Hugging Face's  demo of AI text generation. It shows what the open-source transformers library can do. You type a few words, and the model writes what comes next. The demo offers models like GPT-2, XLNet, and the original GPT. It was built by the Hugging Face team to show off text-generation research. You can use it to start stories, finish sentences, or just play with AI. It is free and runs in your browser with no sign-up. Hugging Face calls it what calculators are to calculus.

1. GPT-2 Text Generation

GPT-2 is the main model, known for smooth and natural completions. Type a prompt and it writes the next words for you.

The first GPT model is also included for comparison. It shows how far text-generation models have come.

4. Open-Source Library Demo

The demo runs on the transformers library, which is free and open source. Developers can study the same code on GitHub.
