Libraries

How to use alphaedge-ai/gemma-3-1b-it-msa-16384 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="alphaedge-ai/gemma-3-1b-it-msa-16384")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("alphaedge-ai/gemma-3-1b-it-msa-16384")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("alphaedge-ai/gemma-3-1b-it-msa-16384")
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]:]))

	# gemma-3-1b-it-msa-16384
	This model is a 28.31% smaller version of [google/gemma-3-1b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-1b-it) optimized for Malay language via vocabulary size reduction using the [trimming](https://huggingface.co/blog/lbourdois/introduction-to-trimming) method.
	This trimmed model should perform similarly to the original model with only 16,384 tokens and a much smaller memory footprint. However, it may not perform well for other languages as tokens not commonly used in the selected languages were removed from the vocabulary.

	## Model Statistics
	\| Metric \| Original \| Trimmed \| Reduction \|
	\|--------\|----------\|---------\|-----------\|
	\| Vocabulary size \| 262,144 tokens \| 16,384 tokens \| 93.75% \|
	\| Model size \| 999,885,952 params \| 716,770,432 params \| 28.31% \|

	## Mining Dataset Statistics
	- Number of texts used for mining: 200,000 texts
	- Dataset: [lbourdois/fineweb-2-trimming](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lbourdois/fineweb-2-trimming)

	## Usage
	```python
	from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

	model_name = "alphaedge-ai/gemma-3-1b-it-msa-16384"

	tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
	model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
	model_name,
	torch_dtype="auto",
	device_map="auto"
	)

	prompt = "Your prompt in Malay."
	messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
	text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	tokenize=False,
	add_generation_prompt=True
	)
	model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

	generated_ids = model.generate(**model_inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
	output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):]
	response = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
	print(response)
