## Installation & Usage

### Quick Start with Transformers

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "aquigpt/aqui-vl-24b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)

# Generate text
prompt = "Explain quantum computing in simple terms:"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200, temperature=0.7)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
```
