Instructions to use tencent/Hunyuan-7B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use tencent/Hunyuan-7B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="tencent/Hunyuan-7B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("tencent/Hunyuan-7B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("tencent/Hunyuan-7B-Instruct")
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]:]))

Hi,
Kudos on producing such a sublime model. I did a local installation and testing video :

Thanks Fahd for informing your regular listeners, like me, about the latest new models.
It looks like a potential replacement for the wonderful Qwen2.5-7B-1M model until Qwen releases a smaller Qwen3 with 256K context.
Would be great if you'd make a video comparing the performance of long context models on needle-in-haystack types of tests.
BTW, this new model is advertised as 256k tokens max context, but the the config.json has "max_position_embeddings": 32768.
