About

The Qwen2.5 1.5B Instruct AWQ model is an optimized and quantized (4-bit) version of a large language model designed for instruction-following tasks. Built to understand and generate text with precision, it excels in areas such as programming, mathematics, and structured data management while producing long, coherent responses. With multilingual support for over 29 languages and the ability to process contexts up to 128,000 tokens, it adapts to a wide range of conversational or technical tasks. The AWQ version significantly reduces memory usage while maintaining high performance, making it suitable for deployment on resource-constrained hardware. Ideal for virtual assistants, data analysis, or workflow automation, it stands out for its robustness in handling diverse instructions and its capacity to generate formatted outputs, particularly in JSON.

Documentation

Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-AWQ

Introduction

Qwen2.5 is the latest series of Qwen large language models. For Qwen2.5, we release a number of base language models and instruction-tuned language models ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters. Qwen2.5 brings the following improvements upon Qwen2:

  • Significantly more knowledge and has greatly improved capabilities in coding and mathematics, thanks to our specialized expert models in these domains.
  • Significant improvements in instruction following, generating long texts (over 8K tokens), understanding structured data (e.g, tables), and generating structured outputs especially JSON. More resilient to the diversity of system prompts, enhancing role-play implementation and condition-setting for chatbots.
  • Long-context Support up to 128K tokens and can generate up to 8K tokens.
  • Multilingual support for over 29 languages, including Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Arabic, and more.

This repo contains the AWQ-quantized 4-bit instruction-tuned 72B Qwen2.5 model, which has the following features:

  • Type: Causal Language Models
  • Training Stage: Pretraining & Post-training
  • Architecture: transformers with RoPE, SwiGLU, RMSNorm, Attention QKV bias and tied word embeddings
  • Number of Parameters: 1.54B
  • Number of Paramaters (Non-Embedding): 1.31B
  • Number of Layers: 28
  • Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 12 for Q and 2 for KV
  • Context Length: Full 32,768 tokens and generation 8192 tokens
  • Quantization: AWQ 4-bit

For more details, please refer to our blog, GitHub, and Documentation.

Requirements

The code of Qwen2.5 has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.

With transformers<4.37.0, you will encounter the following error:

VB.NET
KeyError: 'qwen2'

Also check out our AWQ documentation for more usage guide.

Quickstart

Here provides a code snippet with apply_chat_template to show you how to load the tokenizer and model and how to generate contents.

Python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-AWQ"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

Evaluation & Performance
