# Model description

paper: [Characterizing Verbatim Short-Term Memory in Neural Language Models](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2210.13569)

This is a gpt2-small-like decoder-only transformer model trained on a 40M token subset of the [wikitext-103 dataset](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/wikitext-103).

# Intended uses

This checkpoint is intended for research purposes, for example those interested in studying the behavior of transformer language models trained on smaller datasets.
