From the model card
For more details about the training protocol of this model, please refer to the Falcon-H1-Tiny technical blogpost.
Currently to use this model you can either rely on Hugging Face transformers, vLLM, sglang, llama.cpp, ollama or mlx library.
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.cppYou 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
ollamaollama run hf.co/tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B-GGUF:Q8_0
mlxmlx_lm.chat --model tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B
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
python -m sglang.launch_server \
--model ttiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-R-0.6B \
--tensor-parallel-size 1
