messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},

messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,

return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))How to use DataSnake/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-Down-4over6 with vLLM:

Quantized NVFP4 version of Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 with the down_proj tensors calibrated in FP8_DYNAMIC and the rest using Four Over Six adaptive block scaling, created to compare against my hybrid quant. Made with the same version of llm-compressor and compressed-tensors, using the same calibration data, to isolate the variables as much as possible.
