# DECO-0.1B
This is the 0.1B DECO checkpoint introduced by the paper *DECO: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts with Dense-Comparable Performance on End-Side Devices*. DECO is an improved version of our previous [BlockFFN](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.08771) architecture, with dense-comparable performance given the same budget of total parameters.

### Quick start

You can load and use this model with `AutoTokenizer` and `AutoModelForCausalLM` from `transformers`.

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
model_id = "SparseLLM/DECO-0.1B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    trust_remote_code=True,
).to("cuda").eval()
prompt = "Mixture-of-Experts models are useful because"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64, do_sample=False)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
