Libraries

How to use alamios/DeepSeek-R1-DRAFT-Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="alamios/DeepSeek-R1-DRAFT-Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("alamios/DeepSeek-R1-DRAFT-Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("alamios/DeepSeek-R1-DRAFT-Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B")
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]:]))

DeepSeek-R1-DRAFT-Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B

Updated to v1

This model is trained on CODE outputs of deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B and is meant to be used only as draft model for speculative decoding.

It's specifically intended for users of 3090/4090, allowing you to run the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B-Q4_K_M GGUF version with 16k context and speeding up generation without sacrificing more context length or model quality.

Data info

The data consists of code tasks collected from various datasets. It has been trained for 2 epochs on 2.5k unique examples, for a total of 7.6 million tokens per epoch.

Since data generation was done using spare GPU time, I may publish a further trained version later.
