Quickstart

Here’s how you can use Athena 7B for quick text generation:

python

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Spestly/Athena-1-7B")
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Spestly/Athena-1-7B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Spestly/Athena-1-7B")
