Quickstart with Transformers

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "prithivMLmods/Mintaka-Qwen3-1.6B-V3.1"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Explain the difference between deterministic simulation and stochastic simulation with examples."

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a scientific tutor skilled in reasoning, simulation design, and logical analysis."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)

Intended Use

Random event simulation, scenario analysis, and probabilistic reasoning
Logical-problem analysis and structured scientific tutoring
Research assistant for physics, computational biology, and interdisciplinary simulation domains
Structured technical data and experiment result generation
Deployment in mid-resource environments requiring efficient reasoning

Limitations

Not tuned for long-form creative writing or conversational small talk
Context window limitations may hinder multi-document or full codebase analysis
Optimized specifically for simulation and logical analysis tasks—general chat may underperform
Prioritizes structured logic and reproducibility over emotional tone
