Usage

Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("jaygala24/Qwen3-1.7B-GRPO-math-reasoning", revision="step-0200")  # or whatever branch name, e.g. "step-0400", "step-0600"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jaygala24/Qwen3-1.7B-GRPO-math-reasoning", revision="step-0200")  # or whatever branch name, e.g. "step-0400", "step-0600"

prompt = "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \\boxed{{}}.\n\nWhat is the sum of 123 and 456?"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=4096, temperature=0.7)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

vLLM

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

llm = LLM(model="jaygala24/Qwen3-1.7B-GRPO-math-reasoning", revision="step-0200")  # or whatever branch name, e.g. "step-0400", "step-0600"
