# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
# Activate the virtual environment
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
# On Windows:
# venv\Scripts\activate
# Install required packages
pip install torch transformers
Direct Installation
If you prefer to install directly:
pip install torch transformers
How to Use This Model - Complete Beginner's Guide
Understanding How Hugging Face Models Work
When you use a model from Hugging Face, you have two options:
- Download automatically - The model downloads itself when you run the code (easiest!)
- Download manually - You download the files yourself and use them locally
Method 1: Automatic Download (Easiest - No Manual Download Needed!)
The model will automatically download from Hugging Face when you run this code:
Step 1: Install the required libraries (one-time setup):
pip install torch transformers
Step 2: Create a new Python file on your computer (e.g., test_model.py):
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
# This will AUTOMATICALLY download the model from Hugging Face!
# No need to manually download anything!
model_name = "chiedo/hello-world" # Replace with your actual model name
print("Downloading model... (this happens only once)")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
# Test the model
output = model.generate_hello_world()
print(output) # "Hello World!"
Step 3: Run the script:
python test_model.py
What happens behind the scenes:
- The model files automatically download to
~/.cache/huggingface/hub/(hidden folder) - You don't need to know where they are - it just works!
- Next time you run it, it uses the cached version (no re-download)
Method 2: Manual Download (If You Want the Files on Your Computer)
Want to see and control the actual model files? Here's how:
Step 1: Download the model files from Hugging Face:
Option A: Using Git (Recommended)
# Install git-lfs first (one time only)
git lfs install
# Clone the model repository
git clone https://huggingface.co/chiedo/hello-world
cd hello-world
Option B: Download ZIP from website
- Go to https://huggingface.co/chiedo/hello-world
- Click "Files and versions" tab
- Click the download button to get all files as ZIP
- Extract the ZIP to a folder on your computer
Step 2: Install required libraries:
pip install torch transformers
Step 3: Use the local model files:
import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/hello-world') # Add the model folder to Python path
from model import HelloWorldModel, HelloWorldConfig
from transformers import PreTrainedTokenizerFast
# Load from local files
model_path = "/path/to/hello-world" # Change this to your actual path!
config = HelloWorldConfig.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = HelloWorldModel.from_pretrained(model_path)
tokenizer = PreTrainedTokenizerFast.from_pretrained(model_path)
# Test it
output = model.generate_hello_world()
print(output) # "Hello World!"
Where to save the model folder:
- Anywhere on your computer is fine!
- Common locations:
- Windows:
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\models\hello-world - Mac:
/Users/YourName/Documents/models/hello-world - Linux:
/home/YourName/models/hello-world
- Windows:
Method 3: Using in Google Colab (Zero Setup Required!)
Perfect for beginners - no installation needed!
- Go to https://colab.research.google.com
- Click "New notebook"
- Copy and paste this code:
# Install dependencies (Colab needs this every time)
!pip install torch transformers
# Load and use the model (auto-downloads from Hugging Face!)
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "chiedo/hello-world"
print("Downloading model from Hugging Face...")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
# Test it
print("Testing model:")
print(model.generate_hello_world())
- Click the "Play" button or press Shift+Enter to run
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to download the model files manually?
A: No! The transformers library automatically downloads them when you use from_pretrained()
Q: Where does the model download to?
A: It downloads to a hidden cache folder (~/.cache/huggingface/hub/). You don't need to manage this.
Q: How big is the download? A: This demo model is tiny (< 1 MB). Real models can be much larger (several GB).
Q: Can I use this without internet? A: After the first download, yes! The model is cached locally.
Q: What's the difference between this and pip install?
A: pip install installs Python libraries. Hugging Face models aren't libraries - they're data files (weights, config, etc.) that get downloaded separately.
What Does This Model Actually Do?
This is a demonstration model that:
- Always outputs: "Hello World!" when you call
generate_hello_world() - Purpose: Shows the minimum files needed to upload a model to Hugging Face
- Not for real use: It's like a "Hello World" program - just for learning!
Common Issues and Solutions
Issue: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'transformers'"
- Solution: Run
pip install transformers torch
Issue: "Can't load the model"
- Solution: Make sure to include
trust_remote_code=Trueparameter
Issue: "Model not found"
- Solution: Check the model name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
More Examples
Example 1: Tokenizing Text
# See how the model breaks down text into tokens
text = "Hello World"
tokens = tokenizer.encode(text)
print(f"Text '{text}' becomes tokens: {tokens}")
# Convert tokens back to text
decoded = tokenizer.decode(tokens)
print(f"Tokens {tokens} become text: '{decoded}'")
Example 2: Getting Model Predictions
# Get raw predictions from the model
input_text = "Hello"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
logits = outputs.logits
print(f"Model output shape: {logits.shape}")
Using the Model with Its Dataset
This model includes built-in methods to work with the chiedo/hello-world dataset:
Loading the Dataset Through the Model
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load model and tokenizer
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("chiedo/hello-world", trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("chiedo/hello-world", trust_remote_code=True)
# Method 1: Use the model's built-in dataset loading
dataset = model.load_dataset("chiedo/hello-world")
print(f"Dataset splits: {list(dataset.keys())}")
# Method 2: Load dataset directly
dataset = load_dataset("chiedo/hello-world")
# Process a batch from the dataset
texts = dataset["train"]["text"][:5]
inputs = model.prepare_dataset_batch(texts, tokenizer)
outputs = model(**inputs)
Complete Example with Dataset
# Run the full example script
python example_with_dataset.py

- Loading the model and dataset
- Processing batches from the dataset
- Running inference on dataset examples
- Accessing dataset labels and features
