How to use Thox-ai/ThoxMini-Phi4Mini with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Thox-ai/ThoxMini-Phi4Mini", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

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

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Thox-ai/ThoxMini-Phi4Mini", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Thox-ai/ThoxMini-Phi4Mini", trust_remote_code=True, 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=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

- Qidi Q2 Combo build volume: 270x270x256 mm (per THOX Forge Runbook v3).
- thox-portable: version v0.2.0; a Rust thoxd daemon with a Next.js PWA over a USB-gadget link; runs Gemma 4 12B with roughly 2.25x speculative decoding.
- ThoxyMicro worker agent: targets the Luckfox Pico Mini B (RV1103, 64 MB DDR2, 0.5 TOPS NPU); written in Go; covered by THOX IP-015.
