Hi, is it at all possible (and if so, how) to convert a custom and already-trained PyTorch model to a huggingface transformer model?
My main goal is to get a config.json file from all of this and I cannot refactor the model code, as I cannot train the model from scratch. (As suggested in this post [How to create a config.json after saving a model](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fhow-to-create-a-config-json-after-saving-a-model%2F10459) )

Hey there! You might want to take a look at the following guide, which shows how to share custom configurations, custom models, and share the custom code for others to use.

Very shitty documentation to understand, especially for beginners.
