## Model Card 
This model was finetuned with roughly 300.000 examples of translations from English to Italian and Italian to English. The model was finetuned in a way to more directly provide a translation without much explanation.

Finetuning took about 10 hours on an A10G Nvidia GPU.

Due to its size, the model runs very well on CPUs.

## Usage 

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "LeonardPuettmann/LlaMaestra-3.2-1B-Instruct-v0.1"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id, 
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, add_bos_token=True, trust_remote_code=True)

row_json = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "Your job is to return translations for sentences or words from either Italian to English or English to Italian."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Do you sell tickets for the bus?"},
]

prompt =  tokenizer.apply_chat_template(row_json, tokenize=False)
model_input = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

with torch.no_grad():
    print(tokenizer.decode(model.generate(**model_input, max_new_tokens=1024)[0]))
```
