molcrawl-compounds-gpt2-large

Model Description

GPT-2 large (774M parameters) foundation model pre-trained on compound SMILES strings from the MolCrawl dataset.

The tokenizer is a character-level BPE tokenizer (vocab_size=612) that encodes each SMILES character as a separate token. Input SMILES strings should be passed without spaces (e.g. CC(=O)O). The [SEP] token (id=13) is used as the end-of-sequence marker.

• Model Type: gpt2
• Data Type: Molecule/Compound
• Training Date: 2026-04-24

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("kojima-lab/molcrawl-compounds-gpt2-large")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("kojima-lab/molcrawl-compounds-gpt2-large")

# Generate SMILES string
prompt = "CC(=O)O"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
    output_ids = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        max_new_tokens=50,
        do_sample=True,
        temperature=0.8,
        eos_token_id=tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("[SEP]"),  # [SEP] is EOS for compounds
        pad_token_id=0,
    )
print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
