Instructions to use mpasila/OpenCrystal-8B-L3 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use mpasila/OpenCrystal-8B-L3 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="mpasila/OpenCrystal-8B-L3")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mpasila/OpenCrystal-8B-L3")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mpasila/OpenCrystal-8B-L3")
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]:]))

OpenCrystal-8B-L3

This is a far more optimized version of Darkknight535/OpenCrystal-12B-L3 which uses the original 8B models (instead of the upscaled 12B models).

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.

Merge Details

Merge Method

This model was merged using the TIES merge method using unsloth/llama-3-8b-Instruct as a base.
