SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-LiteRT

SmolLM2 135M Instruct — ultra-tiny on-device assistant (~90MB) — converted for mobile and edge deployment by DuoNeural.

Source model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct
Format: GGUF Q4_K_M (llama.cpp-compatible)
File size: 105 MB
Quantization: 4-bit K-mean (Q4_K_M) — excellent accuracy/size trade-off for edge devices
Target platforms: Android, iOS, desktop edge inference
Converted: 2026-05-06 06:08:19 by Archon / DuoNeural

Usage

llama.cpp (CLI)

./llama-cli -m SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-LiteRT_Q4_K_M.gguf -n 512 --temp 0.7

Google AI Edge / MediaPipe (Android/iOS)

This GGUF is compatible with MLC-LLM and llama.cpp Android bindings for on-device inference. For use with Google Edge Gallery, convert to .task bundle using MediaPipe LLM conversion tools.

Python via llama-cpp-python

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-LiteRT_Q4_K_M.gguf",
    n_ctx=2048,
    n_threads=4,
    verbose=False,
)

response = llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! How can you help me today?"},
    ]
)
print(response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

ollama run hf.co/DuoNeural/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-LiteRT

About the Conversion

Converted using llama.cpp GGUF pipeline with CUDA acceleration. Source weights downloaded from HuggingFace, converted to F16 GGUF, then quantized to Q4_K_M.
