📑 Table of Contents


🚀 Quick Start

Get up and running in 3 lines of code:

from transformers import pipeline

# Initialize the model
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b")

# Start coding
chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to reverse a linked list"}]
response = pipe(chat, max_new_tokens=512)

print(response[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])

💡 Tip: For best results, use temperature=0.2 and top_p=0.95 for deterministic code generation.

💻 Usage

Transformers

Perfect for prototyping and local development:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_id = "Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Prepare chat messages
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Hermit Code, an expert coding assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Rust function that checks if a string is a palindrome."}
]

# Apply chat template
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

# Generate
inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    temperature=0.2,
    do_sample=True
)

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

vLLM (Recommended for Production)

For high-throughput serving and API deployment:

1. Install & Launch:

pip install vllm
vllm serve "Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b" --dtype bfloat16

2. Query via API:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are Hermit Code, a coding assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Explain closures in JavaScript with examples."}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.2,
    "max_tokens": 512
  }'

🚀 vLLM Benefits: Continuous batching, PagedAttention, and 10-20x throughput improvement over standard Transformers.


Inference API

Use Hugging Face's hosted infrastructure for instant access:

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

client = InferenceClient(token="hf_YOUR_TOKEN")

response = client.chat_completion(
    model="Soloman2002/hermit-code-7b",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Go function to merge two sorted arrays"}
    ],
    max_tokens=512,
    temperature=0.2,
    stream=False
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

🐍 Python — Quick Sort Implementation
def quick_sort(arr: list[int]) -> list[int]:
    """
    Sorts an array using the quicksort algorithm.
    Time Complexity: O(n log n) average, O(n²) worst case
    Space Complexity: O(log n) due to recursion
    """
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr

    pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
    left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
    middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
    right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]

    return quick_sort(left) + middle + quick_sort(right)


# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    data = [3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 1]

🐹 Go — Merge Sorted Arrays

// mergeSorted combines two sorted integer slices into a single sorted slice.
// It runs in O(n + m) time where n and m are the lengths of the inputs.
func mergeSorted(a, b []int) []int {
    result := make([]int, 0, len(a)+len(b))
    i, j := 0, 0

    // Merge while both arrays have elements
    for i < len(a) && j < len(b) {
        if a[i] < b[j] {
            result = append(result, a[i])
            i++
        } else {
            result = append(result, b[j])
            j++
        }
    }

    // Append remaining elements
    result = append(result, a[i:]...)
    result = append(result, b[j:]...)

    return result
}

func main() {
    a := []int{1, 3, 5, 7}
    b := []int{2, 4, 6, 8}

 */
function createCounter(initialValue = 0) {
    let count = initialValue; // Private variable

    return {
        increment() {
            count += 1;
            return count;
        },
        decrement() {
            count -= 1;
            return count;
        },
        getValue() {

        reset() {
            count = initialValue;
            return count;
