Status: This is an early compact chat model intended for lightweight assistant-style use and experimentation.
Capabilities
- General chat and question answering
- Writing, brainstorming, and rewriting
- Simple coding help and explanations
- Multilingual responses in English, German, and French
- Safe refusal behavior for harmful requests
Quickstart
pip install "transformers>=4.43.0" accelerate torch
import torchfrom transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer MODEL_ID = "Muse-research/Muse-3B" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( MODEL_ID, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto",) messages = [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are Muse-3B, a helpful chat assistant from Muse Research Lab."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hi, who are you?"},] prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) with torch.inference_mode(): output_ids = model.generate( **inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True, ) response = tokenizer.decode(output_ids[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)print(response)
Intended Use
Muse-3B is intended for lightweight assistant-style use, including chat, drafting, summarization, simple programming support, and English/German/French/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese everyday help.
Limitations
- May produce incorrect or incomplete answers.
- May struggle with advanced reasoning, long coding tasks, or highly specialized domains.
- Multilingual support is useful but may be less reliable than English.
- Should not be used as the only source for medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical decisions.
- Applications should add their own safeguards when deployed to users.
Safety
Muse-3B is designed to be helpful while refusing clearly harmful requests. For production use, pair the model with application-level safety checks, monitoring, and domain-specific policies.
