Citing this project in research

[davmacario]

Since I believe this project is being used a lot in academia/research, especially as a way to explain and showcase LLMs and the decoder-only Transformer architecture, I think it needs a way to be cited (i.e., a CITATION.cff file).
Should I add one?

Yes, how did you cite it?

For now I used the following BibTex entry:

@misc{Karpathy2022,
  author = {Andrej Karpathy},
  title = {\text{NanoGPT}},
  year = {2022},
  publisher = {GitHub},
  journal = {GitHub repository},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT}},
  commit = {325be85d9be8c81b436728a420e85796c57dba7e}
}

I think I found this specific entry online somewhere, though I'm not sure.
If you have better ideas I'm open to them!

}

This is the common fashion to cite a git repo in scientific writings.
