# Falcon3-7B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int8

**Falcon3** family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B parameters.

**Falcon3-7B-Instruct** achieves state-of-the-art results (at release's time) on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks.
Falcon3-7B-Instruct supports 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and a context length of up to 32K.

This repository contains the GPTQ-quantized 8-bit instruction-tuned 7B Falcon3  model.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "tiiuae/Falcon3-7B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int8"

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

prompt = "How many hours in one day?"

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful friendly assistant Falcon3 from TII, try to follow instructions as much as possible."},
    {"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=1024
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)
