Usage

Currently to use this model you can either rely on Hugging Face transformers, vLLM, sglang, llama.cpp, ollama or mlx library.

Inference

🤗 transformers

Refer to the snippet below to run H1 models using 🤗 transformers:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-100M-Multilingual-Instruct"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
  model_id,
  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
  device_map="auto"
)

# Perform text generation

or

transformers serve tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-100M-Multilingual-Instruct

llama.cpp

You can find all GGUF files compatible with llama.cpp under our official collection - an example setup could be:

brew install llama.cpp
