Quickstart with transformers

Here is a code snippet to load the tokenizer and model using apply_chat_template for structured input formatting:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "prithivMLmods/Pocket-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Explain the theory of relativity in simple terms."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are an advanced assistant specialized in science and mathematics."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=6090
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)

Intended Use

1. General Chat & Knowledge-Based Queries:
   Engages in informative and casual discussions on a wide range of topics.
2. Mathematics & Science Problem Solving:
   Provides accurate calculations and structured explanations for complex problems.
3. Technical Documentation & Explanation:
   Assists in generating well-structured documentation for APIs, scientific concepts, and coding principles.
4. Debugging Assistance:
   Helps identify and correct errors in code snippets.
5. Educational Support:
   Simplifies complex topics for students and learners with clear explanations.
6. Structured Data Processing:
   Generates structured outputs like JSON, XML, and tables for data science applications.

Limitations

1. Hardware Constraints:
   Although lighter than larger models, still requires a moderately powerful GPU or TPU for optimal performance.
2. Potential Bias in Responses:
   Outputs may reflect biases present in training data.
3. Limited Creativity:
   May generate variable results in non-technical, creative tasks.
4. No Real-Time Awareness:
   Lacks access to real-world events beyond its training cutoff.
5. Error Propagation in Long Responses:
   Minor mistakes in early outputs may affect overall coherence in lengthy responses.
6. Prompt Sensitivity:
   The effectiveness of responses depends on well-structured prompts.
