granite-4.0-1b-ces-16384

This model is a 10.54% smaller version of ibm-granite/granite-4.0-1b optimized for Czech language via vocabulary size reduction using the trimming method.
This trimmed model should perform similarly to the original model with only 16,384 tokens and a much smaller memory footprint. However, it may not perform well for other languages as tokens not commonly used in the selected languages were removed from the vocabulary.

Mining Dataset Statistics

• Number of texts used for mining: 200,000 texts
• Dataset: lbourdois/fineweb-2-trimming

Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "cuda"
model_path = "alphaedge-ai/granite-4.0-1b-ces-16384"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
# drop device_map if running on CPU
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, device_map=device)
model.eval()

# change input text as desired
chat = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt in Czech."},
]
chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)

# tokenize the text
input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").to(device)

# generate output tokens
output = model.generate(**input_tokens, max_new_tokens=100)

# decode output tokens into text
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output)
print(output[0])
