🚀 Quick Start

from mlx_lm import load, generate
from mlx_lm.sample_utils import make_sampler

model, tokenizer = load("Ila-AI/IlaAI-v1.1")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are IlaAI, an expert agricultural assistant for Indian farmers. Always respond in the same language the user writes in. Keep answers concise, practical and under 200 words."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "My wheat crop has yellow spots on leaves. What should I do?"}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=False
)

sampler = make_sampler(temp=0.7, top_p=0.9)
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=text, max_tokens=1000, sampler=sampler, verbose=True)
