Code for creating the tiny model:

```python
import torch

torch.set_default_dtype(torch.float32)

import os

from transformers import AutoConfig, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, set_seed

# === Settings ===
model_id = "microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct"
output_dir = "phi-4-mini-tiny-random"

set_seed(0)

# === Step 1: Define tiny model config ===
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_id)

# the "originally" values are for Phi-4-mini-instruct
config.num_hidden_layers = 4    # originally 32
config.num_attention_heads = 4  # originally 24
config.num_key_value_heads = 2  # originally 8
config.hidden_size = 64         # originally 3072, this has the largest influence on model size
config.intermediate_size = 256  # originally 8192; MLP layer
config.initializer_range = 0.1  # originally 0.02; without this change, phi-4-mini model outputs collapse with larger inputs

# Keep 6 RoPE factors (originally 48). Adjust config.hidden_size when adjusting this.
if config.rope_scaling:
    config.rope_scaling["short_factor"] = config.rope_scaling["short_factor"][::8]
    config.rope_scaling["long_factor"] = config.rope_scaling["long_factor"][::8]

# === Step 2: Create model from config ===
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_config(config)
# Increase variance in final layer to prevent outputs collapsing to a single token and OpenVINO/PyTorch differences
# Whether it is needed depends on model and device - this improves reliability of the tiny model across devices
with torch.no_grad():
    model.lm_head.weight.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.2)

# === Step 3: Load or create tokenizer ===
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

# === Step 4: Save model and tokenizer ===
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)
model.save_pretrained(output_dir)
tokenizer.save_pretrained(output_dir)
