DeepSeek-R1-Qwen-7B

This document explains how to run the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B-GPTQ-Int4 sample application on a host device equipped with the Radxa AICore AX-M1.

Precompiled model quantization format: w4a16.

Create a virtual environment

Host
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

Download the demo repository

Host
pip3 install -U "huggingface_hub"
hf download AXERA-TECH/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B-GPTQ-Int4 --local-dir ./DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B-GPTQ-Int4
cd DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B-GPTQ-Int4

Example usage

Install Python dependencies

Host
pip3 install transformers==4.53.3 jinja2==3.1.6

Launch the tokenizer service

Host
python3 deepseek-r1_tokenizer.py --port 12345 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
warning

To stop the background tokenizer service, run jobs to find the job ID, then use kill %N, where %N is the corresponding job number.

warning

Please check the port of the tokenizer_model in the run_xxx.sh script is consistent with the Tokenizer service port.
