Libraries

How to use Vikhrmodels/salt-116k with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Vikhrmodels/salt-116k")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Vikhrmodels/salt-116k")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Vikhrmodels/salt-116k")
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]:]))

Vikhr Salt: Speech And Language Transformer

Vikhr Salt is a multimodal model based on a pre-trained large language model, extended with new audio tokens to handle both TTS (text-to-speech) and ASR (automatic speech recognition) tasks. The model incorporates two variants for encoding audio—Encodec and SpeechTokenizer—and achieves stable training by fine-tuning precision settings. This approach allows Vikhr Salt to leverage pre-existing LLM knowledge while effectively generating and understanding speech, marking a step forward in multimodal learning.
