+## Language generation
+
+Based on the script [`run_generation.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/text-generation/run_generation.py).
+
+Conditional text generation using the auto-regressive models of the library: GPT, GPT-2, GPT-J, Transformer-XL, XLNet, CTRL, BLOOM, LLAMA, OPT.
+A similar script is used for our official demo [Write With Transformer](https://transformer.huggingface.co), where you
+can try out the different models available in the library.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```bash
+python run_generation.py \
+    --model_type=gpt2 \
+    --model_name_or_path=openai-community/gpt2
+```
