Libraries

How to use spiral-rl/Spiral-DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="spiral-rl/Spiral-DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("spiral-rl/Spiral-DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("spiral-rl/Spiral-DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

## Introduction

This model is trained with self-play on multi-games (TicTacToe, Kuhn Poker, Simple Negotiation) using the SPIRAL framework.

## Usage

This model can be easily loaded and used with the `transformers` library.

```python
from transformers import pipeline, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "spiral-rl/Spiral-DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B"

# Load model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, # or torch.float16 for GPUs that don't support bfloat16
    device_map="auto"
)

# Create a text generation pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=50,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95
)

# Define a chat message
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
]

# Generate text
output = pipe(messages)
print(output[0]['generated_text'])
```
