Quickstart

Below is an example of how to use Athena 1 for text generation:

huggingface-cli login

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

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Spestly/Athena-1-14B")
pipe(messages)  

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Spestly/Athena-1-14B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Spestly/Athena-1-14B")

Performance

Athena 1 has been optimized for efficiency and performance on modern GPUs. For detailed evaluation metrics (e.g., throughput, accuracy, and memory requirements), refer to the Qwen2.5 performance benchmarks.

Requirements

To use Athena 1, ensure the following:

Python >= 3.8
Transformers >= 4.37.0 (to support Qwen models)
PyTorch >= 2.0
GPU with BF16 support for optimal performance.
