        "content": "You are Harness, an AI assistant created by Algo Science Lab."
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Write a Python program to print Fibonacci numbers."
    }
]

prompt = pipe.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

output = pipe(
    prompt,
    max_new_tokens=256,
