Running Model Inference with OpenVINO GenAI

Install packages required for using OpenVINO GenAI.

pip install openvino-genai huggingface_hub

Download model from HuggingFace Hub

import huggingface_hub as hf_hub

model_id = "OpenVINO/qwen3-4b-fp16-ov"
model_path = "qwen3-4b-fp16-ov"

hf_hub.snapshot_download(model_id, local_dir=model_path)

Run model inference:

import openvino_genai as ov_genai

device = "CPU"
pipe = ov_genai.LLMPipeline(model_path, device)
pipe.get_tokenizer().set_chat_template(pipe.get_tokenizer().chat_template)
print(pipe.generate("What is OpenVINO?", max_length=200))

More GenAI usage examples can be found in OpenVINO GenAI library docs and samples
