Example Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from optimum.intel.openvino import OVModelForCausalLM

model_id = "Irfanuruchi/Qwen3-4B-Computer-Science-OpenVINO-INT4"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device="CPU",
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a computer science assistant."
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Explain Floyd's cycle detection algorithm."
    },
]

prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
)

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=False,
)

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

print(response)

Credits

This release builds upon the work of several open-source projects and communities:

  • Qwen Team for the Qwen3 foundation model architecture.
  • Intel® OpenVINO™ Toolkit for the OpenVINO Runtime and deployment framework.
  • Hugging Face for the Transformers ecosystem and the Optimum Intel integration.
  • Optimum Intel for OpenVINO model export and runtime integration.

This repository provides an OpenVINO INT4 deployment of the original Qwen3-4B-Computer-Science model for efficient inference on OpenVINO-supported hardware.


Limitations

Like other large language models, this model may occasionally:

  • Generate incorrect or incomplete code
  • Hallucinate APIs or implementation details
  • Produce inefficient implementations
  • Misinterpret ambiguous instructions

INT4 weight compression may introduce minor quality differences compared to higher-precision variants.

All generated code should be reviewed and tested before use in production or safety-critical environments.
