Instructions to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B-RAG with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B-RAG with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B-RAG")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B-RAG")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B-RAG")
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]:]))

Correct chat template ?

Hello,

In the model card, we can see the documents are in system prompt with tags.

But bellow in the example the document seems to be (with missing question, lol) in the user message, not the system prompt.

What example are we expected to follow ?

Thanks

You can use any. As mentioned, the system prompt is optional.

"[...]" symbolizes a truncation, which is why there's no question in the chat template example.
