Libraries

How to use Downtown-Case/Seed-OSS-36B-Base-Instruct-Karcher-Merge with Transformers:

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

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

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Downtown-Case/Seed-OSS-36B-Base-Instruct-Karcher-Merge")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Downtown-Case/Seed-OSS-36B-Base-Instruct-Karcher-Merge")
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]:]))

Docker Model Runner
How to use Downtown-Case/Seed-OSS-36B-Base-Instruct-Karcher-Merge with Docker Model Runner:
```
docker model run hf.co/Downtown-Case/Seed-OSS-36B-Base-Instruct-Karcher-Merge
```
Browse Quantizations to use this model in llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, or any compatible app.

This is a merge of Bytedance Seed-OSS-36B Base and Instruct, using the karcher-means method in mergekit, with the idea being to get Bytedance Instruct to 'feel' and write more like a raw continuation model.

Karcher was tested because this and SLERP are seemingly the only viable ways to merge an instruct and base model.

Quantized, it gets an MMLU score (via the exllamav3 eval script) of 11853/ 14042 = 84.41% correct, ( 80.41% prob.)

For reference, ByteDance's instruct model (with the exact same quantization settings) gets 11680/ 14042 = 83.18% correct, ( 80.96% prob.) The base model by itself: 11851/ 14042 = 84.40% correct, ( 76.96% prob.)

These are the raw bf16 weights of the merge.
