Instructions to use ServiceNow-AI/Apriel-5B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use ServiceNow-AI/Apriel-5B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ServiceNow-AI/Apriel-5B-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ServiceNow-AI/Apriel-5B-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")
