Libraries

How to use HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

HuggingFace building SmolLM2 proves that even the biggest AI platform cares about small models. The future of AI is on-device.

On our phone farm: 17.1 t/s, 1.2GB, loads in 1.4s. One of the fastest models we've tested.

We've packaged it as dispatchAI/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mobile. Phone-farm tested. Ready to ship.

Kudos to the HF team for walking the talk on small models.
