import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "gpt2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Prepare input text
input_text = "In the world of artificial intelligence,"
input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

# Generate text
with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        max_length=100,
