Quick Start

You can use the Inference.py script.

Example command: inference.py --Prompt "The capital of Denmark is" --temperature 0.1 --max_new_tokens 32

Output: The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen, which has a population of about 1.5 million people. The city is located in the northern part of the country and is surrounded by the sea.
