Libraries

How to use Schnuckade/LFM-3-Coder-Claude-Distill with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Schnuckade/LFM-3-Coder-Claude-Distill", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Schnuckade/LFM-3-Coder-Claude-Distill", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Schnuckade/LFM-3-Coder-Claude-Distill", trust_remote_code=True, 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=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

🚀 LFM 3 1.7B Claude Distill

An enhanced, lightweight code-reasoning model built on top of LiquidAI's LFM-3 1.7B. Fine-tuned to improve code performance and reasoning.

📌 Quick Summary

Feature	Details
Developed by	Schnuckade
Base Model	LiquidAI/LFM3-1.7B
Fine-Tuning Framework	Unsloth 🦥
Datasets Used	Various datasets distilled from Claude
License	Apache-2.0

💡 About the Model

LFM-3-Coder-Claude-Distill is a fine-tune designed to improve the model's reasoning and coding abilities. It was distilled on traces generated by Sonnet, Opus and Fable to better mimic their reasoning and answer style.

🧠 Reasoning Focus: Helps the model think through problems step-by-step.
⚡ Lightweight & Efficient: Reaches 200+ tokens/s on an RTX 4060.
📦 Multi-Format: Includes full FP16/BF16 safetensors alongside quantized GGUF weights (Q4_K_M) for easy local deployment.

🛠️ Usage & Integration
