## 🛠️ Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "sweatSmile/Qwen3-4B-Function-Calling-Pro"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)

# Example function calling
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant with function calling capabilities."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in San Francisco and convert the temperature to Celsius?"}
]

# Generate response
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=200, temperature=0.7)

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][len(inputs[0]):], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
