🔍 Why Pytho 25M Outperforms Micro Competitors

Domain-Specific Instruction Tuning: Tailored for Python instruction-response pairs, allowing immediate zero-shot understanding of Python function generation prompts.
Vocabulary Parameter Allocation (8,000 vs 50,000 Tokens): Standard models waste up to 76% of their weights storing 50,000 English vocabulary tokens. Pytho 25M uses an 8,000 Python BPE vocabulary, reserving 92% of its weights for 14 deep transformer layers.
Ultra-Low Memory Footprint: Runs on CPU with under 30 MB of RAM at over 200 tokens per second.

⚡ Quickstart Code Examples

1. PyTorch / Transformers Usage

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "Sayansantra/pytho25M"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float32)

prompt = "<|system|>\nYou are an expert Python coding assistant.</s>\n<|user|>\nWrite a python function to check if a number is prime.</s>\n<|assistant|>\n"

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=60,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

2. GGUF Usage with `llama-cpp-python`

python

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="Sayansantra/pytho25M",
    filename="pytho25m_Q4_K_M.gguf",
    verbose=False
)

prompt = "<|system|>\nYou are an expert Python coding assistant.</s>\n<|user|>\nWrite a python function to reverse a string.</s>\n<|assistant|>\n"
response = llm(prompt, max_tokens=50)
print(response["choices"][0]["text"])
