Libraries

How to use ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit", 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]:]))

ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit

This repository contains experimental models designed strictly for academic evaluation and research purposes.

Critical Constraints:

No Production Deployment: Experimental models must not be deployed in commercial, enterprise, or mission-critical environments under any circumstances.

No Liability: Experimental models are provided "as-is" without warranties of any kind. The developers assume zero liability for downstream consequences, system integration failures, or regulatory non-compliance resulting from unauthorized deployment.

The Model ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit was converted to MLX format from ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct using mlx-lm version 0.21.5.

Use with mlx

pip install mlx-lm

from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1-SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-mlx-4Bit")

prompt="hello"

if hasattr(tokenizer, "apply_chat_template") and tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
    )

response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
