Libraries

How to use gudo7208/CAD-Coder with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="gudo7208/CAD-Coder")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("gudo7208/CAD-Coder")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gudo7208/CAD-Coder", 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)

	# CAD-Coder

	CAD-Coder: Text-to-CAD Generation with Chain-of-Thought and Geometric Reward

	Accepted at NeurIPS 2025 (Poster)

	This is the reinforcement learning (GRPO) fine-tuned model for generating CadQuery code from natural language descriptions.

	## Model Description

	CAD-Coder reformulates text-to-CAD as the generation of CadQuery scripts—a Python-based, parametric CAD language. The model is trained with a two-stage pipeline:

	1. Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT): Learning CadQuery syntax and text-to-code mapping
	2. Reinforcement Learning (GRPO): Optimizing geometric accuracy with CAD-specific rewards (Chamfer Distance + Format Reward)

	### Key Features

	- Generates executable CadQuery Python code from natural language
	- Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning for complex CAD structures
	- Geometric reward optimization for accurate 3D model generation
	- Supports diverse CAD operations beyond simple sketch-extrusion

	## Usage

	For complete inference scripts, please visit our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/gudo7208/CAD-Coder).

	### Installation

	```bash
	pip install transformers
	pip install "numpy<2.0" cadquery==2.3.1 # Optional: for code execution
	```

	### Quick Start

	```python
	from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

	model_name = "gudo7208/CAD-Coder"
	tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
	model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")

	prompt = "Create a cylinder with radius 10mm and height 20mm, with a central hole of radius 5mm."

	text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
	tokenize=False,
	add_generation_prompt=True
	)
	inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
	outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=2048)
	print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
	```

	## Performance

	\| Method \| Mean CD \| Median CD \| IR% \|
	\|--------\|---------\|-----------\|-----\|
	\| Text2CAD \| 29.29 \| 0.37 \| 3.75 \|
	\| CAD-Coder (Ours) \| 6.54 \| 0.17 \| 1.45 \|

	CD metrics are ×10³. Lower is better.

	## Training Details

	- Base Model: Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
	- Training Data: 110K text-CadQuery-3D model triplets + 1.5K CoT samples
	- Hardware: 8× NVIDIA A800 80GB GPUs
