• LoRA rank: 128
• Learning rate: 0.0001
• Batch size: 4
• Framework: Unsloth + transformers + PEFT
• Hardware: NVIDIA RTX 5090

Usage

from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model, tokenizer = FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained(
    model_name="theprint/Empathetic-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct",
    max_seq_length=4096,
    dtype=None,
    load_in_4bit=True,
)

# Enable inference mode
FastLanguageModel.for_inference(model)

# Example usage
inputs = tokenizer(["Your prompt here"], return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.7)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

Alternative Usage (Standard Transformers)

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "theprint/Empathetic-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("theprint/Empathetic-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct")

# Example usage
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Your question here"}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
