messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [

            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("prithivMLmods/Zenith-9B-CodeCore-Merge")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("prithivMLmods/Zenith-9B-CodeCore-Merge", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

	# Zenith-9B-CodeCore-Merge

	> Zenith-9B-CodeCore-Merge is a merged 9B-parameter coding and reasoning model designed for long-horizon coding tasks, agentic coding, and agentic reasoning. It is built by merging [Qwen3.5-9B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B) as the base model with [OxCoder-9B](https://huggingface.co/OrionLLM/OxCoder-9B), [Qwopus3.5-9B-Coder](https://huggingface.co/Jackrong/Qwopus3.5-9B-Coder), and [Ornith-1.5-9B](https://huggingface.co/ornith-ai/Ornith-1.5-9B), combining their capabilities for code generation, multi-step problem solving, instruction following, and autonomous coding workflows. The model is intended for complex software-engineering tasks that require sustained reasoning across multiple steps, code understanding, modification, debugging, and tool-oriented agentic workflows. This model is experimental and may generate artifacts.

	- GGUF: [Zenith-9B-CodeCore-Merge-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/prithivMLmods/Zenith-9B-CodeCore-Merge-GGUF). Note: The Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) heads are not preserved in this format. The model runs as a standard single-token-per-step autoregressive decoder.
