Instructions to use prithivMLmods/Llama-Express.1-Merged with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use prithivMLmods/Llama-Express.1-Merged with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="prithivMLmods/Llama-Express.1-Merged")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("prithivMLmods/Llama-Express.1-Merged")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("prithivMLmods/Llama-Express.1-Merged")
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]:]))

Llama-Express.1-Merged

Llama-Express.1-Merged is a 1B model based on Llama 3.2 (1B), fine-tuned on long chain-of-thought thinker datasets. This instruction-tuned, text-only model is optimized for multilingual dialogue use cases, including agentic retrieval and summarization tasks. It outperforms many of the available open-source and closed chat models.

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