Python tutorial
Load Model A (distilgpt2)
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("distilbert/distilgpt2")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("distilbert/distilgpt2")
Load Model B (gpt2)
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("openai-community/gpt2")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openai-community/gpt2")
