Libraries

How to use FirstPrinciplesLabs/quark with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="FirstPrinciplesLabs/quark")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("FirstPrinciplesLabs/quark")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("FirstPrinciplesLabs/quark", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.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=256)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

 ## Usage

 Quark was fine-tuned on our curated mix of about 200,000 physics, science, maths and coding problems,
 each with a worked solution written by [Qwen3.8-Flash-Next](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next).
+Solutions were filtered by rejection sampling, keeping only correct ones. Duplicate questions were removed,
+and so was any question that shares at least half of a benchmark question's word 13-grams (after
+lower-casing and keeping only letters and digits; 13-grams common to many benchmark questions, such as
+"which of the following", are ignored). We checked against the full GPQA Diamond, AIME 2025, MATH-500,
+MMLU-Pro, SuperGPQA and HLE (text-only) sets, not only the subsets we evaluate on.
