-## 🧾 Training Data
+## ⚙️ Usage (Python Example)
+
+Below is a quick example to load and use **SALAMA LLM** for Swahili text generation:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
+import torch
 
-| Dataset | Source | Tokens / Examples | Purpose |
-|----------|---------|------------------|----------|
-| Jacaranda/kiswallama-pretrained | Hugging Face | 321M Swahili tokens | Base pretraining |
-| Google Gemma Swahili Fine-tuning | Internal dataset | 20+ prompt-response pairs | Instruction tuning |
-| Custom Swahili QA corpus | Local compilation | 50K examples | Conversational fine-tuning |
+# Load model and tokenizer
+model_name = "EYEDOL/salama-llm"  # Change to your Hugging Face repo name
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    model_name,
+    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
+    device_map="auto"
+)
+
+# Swahili text prompt
+prompt = "Andika sentensi fupi kuhusu umuhimu wa elimu."
+
+inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
+outputs = model.generate(
+    **inputs,
+    max_new_tokens=120,
+    temperature=0.7,
+    top_p=0.9,
+    repetition_penalty=1.05
