Instructions to use Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1", trust_remote_code=True)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

vLLM

How to use Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1 with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):

		"model": "Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1",
		"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
		"max_tokens": 512,
		"temperature": 0.5
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1

SGLang

How to use Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1 with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang

Docker Model Runner
How to use Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1 with Docker Model Runner:
```
docker model run hf.co/Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1
```

RetNet-0.5B, epoch 1

First training leg of the 0.5B model, run on a rented RTX 3090 24 GB. Validation loss 2.1035. The final model is RetNet-0.5B at 1.9459.

Same architecture and configuration: 504,179,896 parameters, 20 layers, d_model 1408, 22 heads, vocab 20000, context 2048, chunk size 128.

Training

One epoch over chat_pack_v13 (552,330,489 token slots). Batch 4 × accum 1, 67,390 steps, 11.316 h wall clock, 13,551 tokens/s. Full cosine 1.1e-4 → 1.1e-5, warmup 500, AdamW 8-bit, seed 1234. Peak memory 23,230 MiB out of 24,576 MiB — 1,346 MiB of headroom, which is why the batch stayed at 4 on this card.

The run was split into two segments by a control flag: it stopped at step 10,661 and resumed from 10,509 after the last checkpoint at 10,508, so 153 steps were run twice.

Usage

Identical to the final model — trust_remote_code=True, standard AutoTokenizer:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo = "Ayaka157/RetNet-0.5B-ep1"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True, dtype=torch.float32).eval()

ids = tok("<bos>用户：你好。\n助手：")["input_ids"]
out = model.generate(torch.tensor([ids]), max_new_tokens=64, temperature=0.7)
print(tok.decode(out[0].tolist()[len(ids):]))

As in the other checkpoints, mode in config.json is parallel for inference; the training run used chunkwise.

Evaluation numbers and the failure notes are on the final model card and in the technical report.
