import torch

# Initialize model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("yuchenxie/ArlowGPT-8B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("yuchenxie/ArlowGPT-8B", torch_dtype=torch.float16)

# Optional: Move to GPU if available
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
model = model.to(device)

# Basic text generation
def generate_text(prompt, max_length=100):
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
    outputs = model.generate(
