Nandi-Mini-150M-Instruct
Introduction
Nandi-Mini-150M-Instruct is a compact, efficient multilingual language model designed for strong performance in resource-constrained environments. It is pre-trained from scratch on 525 billion tokens and further enhanced through instruction tuning and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). The model supports English and 10 Indic languages.
Nandi-Mini-150M-Instruct focuses on maximizing performance per parameter through architectural efficiency rather than scale. It is optimized for edge devices, on-prem deployments, and low-latency applications, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments. Nandi-Mini-150M-Instruct brings the following key features:
- Strong multilingual capability across English and Indic languages
- Efficient design enabling high performance at small scale (150M parameters)
- Reduced memory footprint using factorized embeddings
- Better parameter efficiency through layer sharing

🚀 Usage
!pip install transformers=='5.4.0'
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model_name = "FrontiersMind/Nandi-Mini-150M-Instruct"
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
trust_remote_code=True,
dtype=torch.bfloat16
).to(device).eval()
prompt = "Explain newton's second law of motion"
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
generated_ids = model.generate(
**inputs,
max_new_tokens=500,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.3,
top_p=0.90,
top_k=20,
repetition_penalty=1.1,
)
generated_ids = [
output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)
