Instructions to use DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M")

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M", device_map="auto")

pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M",
		"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
		"max_tokens": 512,
		"temperature": 0.5
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M

SGLang

How to use DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

	# Checkmate-5M

	A tiny chess move model built for the [Chess LLM Arena](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mlabonne/chessllm).

	- Architecture: Pythia / GPT-NeoX (6 layers, hidden size 128, 4 heads), trained from scratch.
	- Parameters: 4.8M
	- Tokenizer: move-level chess tokenizer: one token per SAN move (without `+`/`#`), plus the
	move-number prompt `1.` and single SAN characters. Every legal SAN move is a single token.
	- Training: the move-selection policy was optimized with reinforcement learning (policy
	gradient) on millions of simulated games against the models at the top of the arena
	leaderboard, then distilled into the network.
	- Best used as White.

	## Usage in the arena

	Type `DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M` as the White model in the arena and press Fight!.

	## Usage with transformers + outlines

	```python
	import chess, re
	import outlines.models as models
	from outlines import generate

	model = models.transformers("DedeProGames/Checkmate-5M")
	board = chess.Board()
	legal = "\|".join(re.escape(re.sub(r"[+#]", "", board.san(m))) for m in board.legal_moves)
	print(generate.regex(model, legal)("1."))
	```
