πŸ“‘ Table of Contents


πŸš€ Quick Start

Get up and running in 3 lines of code:

from transformers import pipeline

# Initialize the model
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b")

# Start coding
chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to reverse a linked list"}]
response = pipe(chat, max_new_tokens=512)

print(response[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])

πŸ’‘ Tip: For best results, use temperature=0.2 and top_p=0.95 for deterministic code generation.

πŸ’» Usage

Transformers

Perfect for prototyping and local development:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_id = "Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Prepare chat messages
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Hermit Code, an expert coding assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Rust function that checks if a string is a palindrome."}
]

# Apply chat template
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

# Generate
inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    temperature=0.2,
    do_sample=True
)

# Decode response
response = tokenizer.decode(
    outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:],
    skip_special_tokens=True
)
print(response)

vLLM (Recommended for Production)

For high-throughput serving and API deployment:

1. Install & Launch:

pip install vllm
vllm serve "Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b" --dtype bfloat16

2. Query via API:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are Hermit Code, a coding assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Explain closures in JavaScript with examples."}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.2,
    "max_tokens": 512
  }'

πŸš€ vLLM Benefits: Continuous batching, PagedAttention, and 10-20x throughput improvement over standard Transformers.


Inference API

Use Hugging Face's hosted infrastructure for instant access:

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

client = InferenceClient(token="hf_YOUR_TOKEN")

response = client.chat_completion(
    model="Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Go function to merge two sorted arrays"}
    ],
    max_tokens=512,
    temperature=0.2,
    stream=False
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
