Libraries

How to use Meridian-MRM/Samarkand-253m with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Meridian-MRM/Samarkand-253m")

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Meridian-MRM/Samarkand-253m")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Meridian-MRM/Samarkand-253m", device_map="auto")
