Quickstart with Transformers

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "prithivMLmods/Sombrero-R1-14B-Elite13"

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

prompt = "Solve: Integrate (x^2 * e^x) dx"
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful AI assistant skilled in math and reasoning."},
    {"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]

Intended Use Cases

Mathematics Problem Solving Ideal for step-by-step derivations, symbolic computation, numerical explanations, and LaTeX-supported outputs.
Educational and Instructional Support Helpful in classrooms and learning platforms, offering guided explanations for students and instructors.
Chat-based Reasoning Designed for coherent, context-aware dialogue generation with structured logic and continuity.
Multilingual Knowledge Assistance Supports 29+ languages, including English, Chinese, French, German, Arabic, and others, for multilingual learning.
Document and Code Explanation Can explain complex documents, code snippets, or structured logic flows in natural language.

Known Limitations

Compute Intensive Requires high-memory hardware (e.g., ≥48GB VRAM) to fully utilize context length and generation capacity.
Potential for Bias and Hallucinations While tuned for alignment, some responses may still exhibit artifacts from pretraining biases or inaccuracies in edge cases.
Drift in Long Responses Output may occasionally degrade in structure or accuracy across long generations.
Static Knowledge Does not have real-time awareness or access to events or research developments post-training.
Creative Task Variability While optimized for logic, its performance in narrative or subjective content may be inconsistent.
