Quick Start

Using Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_name = "Kassadin88/Qwen3.5-4B-KIMI-Distill"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant with strong reasoning capabilities."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Solve this step by step: A train travels 120 km in 2 hours. At the same speed, how long will it take to travel 300 km?"}
]

input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    do_sample=True
)

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

Using vLLM (Recommended for Production)

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

llm = LLM(
    model="Kassadin88/Qwen3.5-4B-KIMI-Distill",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    dtype="bfloat16"
)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    max_tokens=2048
)

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

Using SGLang

python -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path Kassadin88/Qwen3.5-4B-KIMI-Distill \
    --port 8000 \
    --tp-size 1

OpenAI-Compatible API

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Kassadin88/Qwen3.5-4B-KIMI-Distill",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to find the longest palindromic substring."}
    ],
    max_tokens=1024
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Usage Tips

For Mathematical Reasoning

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Solve: Find all prime numbers p such that p² + 2 is also prime."}
]
# Model will provide step-by-step reasoning with chain-of-thought

For Code Generation

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Implement a LRU cache in Python with O(1) get and put operations."}
]
# Model will generate well-structured code with explanations

For Scientific Reasoning

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain the mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and its applications."}
]
# Model will provide detailed scientific explanations

Limitations

• The model is primarily trained on reasoning tasks and may not perform optimally on creative or open-ended conversational tasks
• May occasionally generate incorrect reasoning steps or conclusions
• Should not be used for medical, legal, or financial advice without verification
• Limited to knowledge present in the training data
