ATOM‑350M

Tiny models, big ideas.

⚡ BUILT BY TINYMODELS

A lightning‑fast, open‑source AI assistant forged in the heart of the TinyModels community. Hand‑picked data, real‑world training, and a personality that doesn't feel like a corporate robot. This is our take on what a compact, genuinely useful model should be.

🚀 QUICK START

```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( "TinyModels/Atom-350M", torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto", ) tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("TinyModels/Atom-350M") messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "Explain how a bicycle stays upright in simple terms."} ] prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True) inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=150, temperature=0.7) response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True) print(response) ``` ---

🤍 THIS IS OURS

We didn't just download a model and slap a name on it. TinyModels hand‑picked the training data, configured the QLoRA adapters, and ran the entire training pipeline ourselves. Atom‑350M is our interpretation of a small, helpful, open assistant — built with pride, released with no strings attached.

If you do something cool with it, just give us a shout‑out. We'd love to see what you build.
