from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("jaygala24/Qwen2.5-0.5B-ReMax-math-reasoning", revision="step-0200")  # optional branch, e.g. "step-0400"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jaygala24/Qwen2.5-0.5B-ReMax-math-reasoning", revision="step-0200")

prompt = "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \\boxed{}.\n\nWhat is the sum of 123 and 456?"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=4096, temperature=0.7)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

vLLM

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

llm = LLM(model="jaygala24/Qwen2.5-0.5B-ReMax-math-reasoning", revision="step-0200")  # optional branch, e.g. "step-0400"
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.7, max_tokens=4096)

prompt = "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

What is the sum of 123 and 456?"
outputs = llm.generate([prompt], sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)
