How to use ilsp/CoRM with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ilsp/CoRM") # pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("ilsp/CoRM", device_map="auto")How to use ilsp/CoRM with vLLM:
# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "ilsp/CoRM"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
"model": "ilsp/CoRM",
"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
"max_tokens": 512,
"temperature": 0.5
}'docker model run hf.co/ilsp/CoRM
How to use ilsp/CoRM with SGLang:
# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang
# Start the SGLang server:
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
--model-path "ilsp/CoRM" \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/completions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
"model": "ilsp/CoRM",
"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
"max_tokens": 512,
"temperature": 0.5
}'docker run --gpus all \
--shm-size 32g \
-p 30000:30000 \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
--env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" \

Checkpoints for the paper Beyond Magnitude: Contrastive Routing for Modular Mixture-of-Experts.
| Model | Active Params | Total Params | Routing | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoRM-182M | 182M | 777M | Top-1 | link |
| CoRM-182M | 266M | 777M | Top-2 | link |
| CoRM-469M | 469M | 2.58B | Top-1 | link |
These models use custom modeling code, so trust_remote_code=True is required.
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "ilsp/CoRM-182M-top1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
inputs = tokenizer("The capital of Greece is", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=32)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
These are base models pretrained on The Pile; they are not instruction-tuned. The Hugging Face implementation does not use a KV cache and ignores attention_mask, so pass unpadded sequences.
