🛠️ How to Use

You can load the model using Hugging Face's transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "your-model-id"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype="bfloat16")

prompt = "Explain the importance of data privacy in AI development."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

For best results, use the model with the bfloat16 precision for high efficiency, or float16 for the final outputs.
