🚀 Quick Start

Loading with PEFT

python

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen3-32B",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True,
)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "shaunak1234/qwen3-32b-telecom-expert")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-32B", trust_remote_code=True)

# Example prompt
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a senior 5G RAN engineer with expertise in network optimization."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Our gNB is showing high RACH failure rate in a dense urban cell. What's your troubleshooting approach?"}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Using with vLLM (Merged)

python

# First merge the adapter for faster inference
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-32B", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "shaunak1234/qwen3-32b-telecom-expert")
merged = model.merge_and_unload()
merged.save_pretrained("qwen3-32b-telecom-merged")

# Then serve with vLLM
# vllm serve qwen3-32b-telecom-merged --dtype bfloat16
