Quickstart (try a model in 5 lines):
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
mdl = "HarleyCooper/Qwen.5B-OpenR1Math" # switch to any of your model IDs
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(mdl)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(mdl, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
print(tok.decode(model.generate(**tok("Solve: 13*17", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device), max_new_tokens=64)[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
