# Parks LLM - US Parks Assistant 🏞️
A conversational AI model fine-tuned to help with US national parks, state parks, and recreation areas.

## Quick Start
Load the model:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ajc2195/parks-llm")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ajc2195/parks-llm")

def ask_parks_llm(question):
    prompt = f"Human: {question}\nAssistant:"
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(
            inputs['input_ids'],
            max_new_tokens=80,
            temperature=0.7,
            do_sample=True,
            pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
        )
    
    response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
    return response.split("Assistant:")[-1].strip()
```

Example usage:
```python
answer = ask_parks_llm("What should I pack for Yellowstone?")
print(answer)
```

## Pipeline Usage
```python
from transformers import pipeline

parks_assistant = pipeline("text-generation", model="ajc2195/parks-llm")
response = parks_assistant("Human: What's the best time to visit national parks?\nAssistant:")
```
