Libraries

How to use Open4bits/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct-mlx-2Bit with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Open4bits/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct-mlx-2Bit")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Open4bits/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct-mlx-2Bit")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Open4bits/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct-mlx-2Bit")
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)
