How to use bloomsirenix/q3mds-8b with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="bloomsirenix/q3mds-8b")
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages) # Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bloomsirenix/q3mds-8b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bloomsirenix/q3mds-8b", 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=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))How to use bloomsirenix/q3mds-8b with vLLM:

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.
This model was merged using the DARE TIES merge method using models/Qwen3-8B as a base.
The following models were included in the merge:
The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:
# Q3MDS-8B hybrid merge — DARE-TIES over Qwen/Qwen3-8B
#
# All four ingredients share the Qwen3-8B architecture (36 layers, hidden 4096)
# and the Qwen3 tokenizer, so task vectors (model - base) are meaningful.
#
# Tune `weight` (how much of each delta survives) and `density` (fraction of
# delta kept after DARE drop + TIES pruning). density 0.5-0.7 is the sane range.
