This model mlx-community/granite-3.3-2b-instruct-4bit was converted to MLX format from ibm-granite/granite-3.3-2b-instruct using mlx-lm version 0.22.5 .
Use with mlx#
from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/granite-3.3-2b-instruct-4bit")
prompt = "hello"
if tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True) Copy Files 11 files · 1.43 GB Weights 1.43 GB (safetensors). Sizes and sha256 from the signed manifest.
