Source: https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M/discussions/2 LibrariesTransformersHow to use LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M")
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M")
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
add_generation_prompt=True,
tokenize=True,
return_dict=True,
return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))
