GPT-2 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 2) is a pretrained transformer-based language model developed by OpenAI for Natural Language Processing (NLP). It generates coherent and context-aware text based on a given prompt. GPT-2 comes in multiple sizes (gpt2, gpt2-medium, gpt2-large, gpt2-xl) and is widely used for text generation, summarization, translation, and other NLP tasks, making it suitable for both research and production environments.

Features of GPT-2:

• Pretrained on large-scale datasets for robust language understanding and generation.
• Generates human-like text based on prompts for applications such as chatbots and content creation.
• Supports text completion, summarization, and translation tasks with high accuracy.
• Can be fine-tuned for custom NLP tasks using the Hugging Face Transformers library.
• Handles creative writing, question answering, and dialogue generation effectively.
• Available in multiple sizes to balance performance and computational requirements.
• Supports integration with Python APIs for easy deployment in applications.
• Can run on CPU or GPU, with PyTorch backend enabling efficient inference and training.
