mlx-community/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-4bit#

The Model mlx-community/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-4bit was converted to MLX format from deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B using mlx-lm version 0.20.2.

Use with mlx#

pip install mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-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)
