# valuat/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-mlx-fp16

The Model [valuat/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-mlx-fp16](https://huggingface.co/valuat/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-mlx-fp16) was converted to MLX format from [deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B) using mlx-lm version **0.26.4**.

## Use with mlx

```bash
pip install mlx-lm
```

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("valuat/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-mlx-fp16")

prompt="hello"

if hasattr(tokenizer, "apply_chat_template") and tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
    )

response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
```
