Welcome to our guide on using the Starling-LM-7B-beta-4bit model! This model, converted to MLX format, allows you to harness the power of advanced natural language processing for your applications. Let’s dive into the steps required to get you started!

Requirements

• Python installed on your system
• Access to the MLX library
• An internet connection to install necessary packages

Installation Steps

To start using the Starling-LM-7B model, follow these simple steps:

1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Install the MLX library using pip by running:

pip install mlx-lm

3. Now you’re ready to load the model in your Python script!

Loading and Generating Text

Once the installation is complete, you can load the model and generate responses. Here’s how you can do that:

python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-communityStarling-LM-7B-beta-4bit")
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="hello", verbose=True)

Think of this process like baking a cake. The model is your cake mix—once you’ve got it, you just need to add your ingredients (in this case, the prompt) and bake (run the code) to get your delicious outcome (the response). Just like a cake, the more carefully you add your ingredients and monitor the baking time, the better your result will be!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using the Starling-LM-7B model, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Error: ImportError – Ensure that you have installed the MLX library correctly.
• Error: Model not found – Double-check that you are using the correct model name: “mlx-communityStarling-LM-7B-beta-4bit”.
• Response Timeout – If your code takes too long to respond, consider reducing the complexity of your prompt.
