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-R-0.6B"

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

# Perform text generation

or

transformers serve tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B

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
pip install huggingface_hub
hf download tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B-GGUF Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B-Q8_0.gguf --local-dir ./
llama-cli ./Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B-Q8_0.gguf -cnv

ollama

ollama run hf.co/tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B-GGUF:Q8_0

Apple mlx

mlx_lm.chat --model tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B

vLLM

For vLLM, simply start a server by executing the command below:

# pip install vllm>=0.9.0
vllm serve tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B --tensor-parallel-size 2 --data-parallel-size 1 --reasoning-parser qwen3

sglang

python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model ttiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B \
  --tensor-parallel-size 1
