I'd be interesting in working on such a library, whether it be native or CFFI.  The basics shouldn't be that difficult if we can find a C library.  @Burton (or others), contact me for a discussion; it would be good to exchange notes in any case.

I don’t have experience with GPT myself, but I would guess there’s a Python interface, in which case you could drive it through py4cl (note: avoid py4cl2 for now, it is not yet ready for prime time).

There are one or two minor oddities to learn in py4cl, but by and large I have found it works quite well.

Hi Burton

no.  I have not heard of anything similar, except maybe from Mark Watson (who should be on these lists - markwatson.com).  I became interested in them as well.

In any case, the issue is whether you are interested in a CL implementation or a binding to this or that C/C++ library (yeah! I refrain from mentioning languages susceptible to the 'irsabol attack'  😑 ).

All the best

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody on this list  (or anybody you might know) has heard or had experience with a Common Lisp "Transformer" library, as in Transformer from Generalized Pre-trained Transformer (GPT).

I'd like to do some experimentation and was wondering if there was any previous work that has been done that can be used.

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody on this list  (or anybody you might know) has heard or had experience with a Common Lisp "Transformer" library, as in Transformer from Generalized Pre-trained Transformer (GPT).

I'd like to do some experimentation and was wondering if there was any previous work that has been done that can be used.

Thank you.
