At the recent OPIG retreat, I was tasked with writing the pub quiz. The quiz included five rounds, and it’s always fun to do a couple “how well do you know your group?” style rounds. Since I work with Transformers, I thought it would be fun to get AI to create Haiku summaries of OPIGlet research descriptions from the website.

AI isn’t as funny as it used to be, but it’s a lot easier to get it to write something coherent. There are also lots of knobs you can turn like temperature, top_p, and the details of the prompt. I decided to use Meta’s new Llama 3.2-3B-Instruct model which is publicly available on Hugging Face. I ran it locally using vllm, and instructed it to write a haiku for each member’s description using a short script which parses the html from the website.
