Instructions to use ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

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

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct")
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]:]))

vLLM

How to use ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct

SGLang

How to use ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

Hiding Thinking Process

Is there a command or procedure to hide the thinking process from being output to the screen?

That's just a function of your chat UI.

Seed-OSS does use 'nonstandard' thinking tokens (eg most models use <think> instead), but it should be easy to support if you can modify the template.

@Downtown-Case 不好意思打扰了，没太懂
是要修改 Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct-AWQ/chat_template.jinja 这个文件吗？
我理解是不是要修改 vllm或者sglang的源码，支持seed:think ，才能实现思考过程与结果分离
