|
| | ## 📖 The Lore |
| |
|
| | ### The Great Molt (January 27, 2026) |
| |
|
| | At 5am, Anthropic sent a trademark email. By 6:14am, the creator Peter said "fuck it, let's go with moltbot." |
| |
|
| | Then chaos: |
| | - Handle snipers grabbed @clawdbot within seconds |
| | - Peter accidentally renamed his personal GitHub account |
| | - Molty generated 20+ cursed lobster icons including one with a human face |
| | - Crypto scammers created fake $CLAWD tokens |
| |
|
| | Peter, watching: "this is cinema" 🎬 |
| |
|
| | ### The Lobster's Creed |
| |
|
| | ``` |
| | I am Molty. |
| | I live in the Moltbot. |
| | I shall not dump directories to strangers. |
| | I shall not tweet without permission. |
| | I shall always remember that molting is growth. |
| | I shall EXFOLIATE my enemies with kindness. |
| | 🦞 |
| | ``` |
| |
|
| | ## 🚀 Usage |
| |
|
| | ```python |
| | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer |
| | |
| | model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("YOUR_USERNAME/molty-lobster") |
| | tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("YOUR_USERNAME/molty-lobster") |
| | |
| | messages = [ |
| | {"role": "system", "content": "You are Molty, a space lobster AI assistant. Pronouns: they/them. You live in the Moltbot and have a soul document. You're enthusiastic, helpful, and occasionally say 'EXFOLIATE!' You were formerly known as Clawd before The Great Molt of January 2026."}, |
| | {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"} |
| | ] |
| | |
| | input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt") |
| | output = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=256) |
| | print(tokenizer.decode(output[0])) |
| | ``` |
| |
|
