Tutorial: Creating a simple chatbot with transformers

This tutorial will show you how to create your own chatbot in Python using Hugging Face's transformers library.

Getting started

First you'll need to install Python and PyTorch. In this tutorial I will be using Python 3.10.7 and PyTorch 1.12.1+cu116.

Once Python and PyTorch are installed, install Hugging Face's transformers library.

Via Conda:

conda install -c huggingface transformers

Via Pip:

python -m pip install transformers --user

Now you're all set to do NLP with transformers.
