How to run Spark-X2.6-4B locally in Python with Transformers with Spark X2 6

Load the 4B model in a Python script and get a chat reply on your own machine.

Who it is forA Python developer who wants to test a small on-device model in a script before wiring it into a larger app.

The problemSetting up a model server just to try one prompt is slow when the goal is a quick local check of answer quality.

The outcomeA short Python script that loads XHToken/Spark-X2.6-4B and prints a generated answer to a chat message.

What you need first

  • A machine with an NVIDIA GPU or Ascend NPU for the server use cases, or enough local memory for the Transformers example
  • Docker installed for the SGLang and vLLM use cases
  • Python with pip for the Transformers use case, using transformers==4.57.1
  • Local copy of the model checkpoint or network access to Hugging Face, ModelScope, or Ollama to download it

Steps

  1. Run pip install transformers==4.57.1 to install the version the README specifies.
  2. Copy the Transformers code block from the README Quickstart into a new file.
  3. Change the content in the messages list to your own question.
  4. Run the script and read the decoded output printed at the end.

Prompt for your agent

Using the XHToken/Spark-X2.6-4B Transformers Quickstart in the Spark-X2.6 GitHub README, install transformers==4.57.1, replace the user message with <your question>, and run the script. Expected output: a text answer printed to the console. Verify that the printed answer addresses <your question> and that the script ran without a trust_remote_code error.

Caveat. The README example sets max_new_tokens=131072 and needs enough device memory, so reduce that value if generation runs out of memory.
