messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("yingfanbot/gsm-cot-llama3b-nl", device_map="auto")
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
add_generation_prompt=True,

).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)

Natural-language chain-of-thought SFT checkpoint, fine-tuned from meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct
on GSM8k-Aug with natural-language reasoning steps. From the paper
Bridging the Gap Between Latent and Explicit Reasoning with Looped Transformers.
This is the Stage-1 CoT initialization for the natural-language LOTUS model
(yingfanbot/gsm-lotus-llama3b-nl).
It is a standard causal LM — load with from_pretrained and generate the CoT directly (no wrapper needed).
