💬 Prompt Template: ChatML
SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct natively parses the standard ChatML format. Ensure your tokenizer or inference wrapper uses the following structure:
<|im_start|>system
You are RunSLM, a concise, sovereign on-device assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
What is the difference between CPU cache and main memory?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Stop Sequences
Configure your engine to break generation on:
<|im_end|><|endoftext|>
