"""
Reference code for GPT-2 training and inference.
Will save the model weights into files, to be read from C as initialization.

Example launches to only benchmark the speed of bfloat16 compiled GPU training:
1 GPU:
python train_gpt2.py --write_tensors=0 --num_iterations=50 --sequence_length=1024 --compile=1 --tensorcores=1 --dtype=bfloat16
you can also turn on flash-attention by appending --flash=1
4 GPU:
torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train_gpt2.py --write_tensors=0 --num_iterations=50 --sequence_length=1024 --compile=1 --tensorcores=1 --dtype=bfloat16
