Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-GGUF#

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 instruction-tuned 7B Qwen2.5 model in the GGUF Format, which has the following features:

  • Type: Causal Language Models
  • Training Stage: Pretraining & Post-training
  • Architecture: transformers with RoPE, SwiGLU, RMSNorm, and Attention QKV bias
  • Number of Parameters: 7.61B
  • Number of Paramaters (Non-Embedding): 6.53B
  • Number of Layers: 28
  • Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 28 for Q and 4 for KV
  • Context Length: Full 32,768 tokens and generation 8192 tokens
    • Note: Currently, only vLLM supports YARN for length extrapolating. If you want to process sequences up to 131,072 tokens, please refer to non-GGUF models.
  • Quantization: q2_K, q3_K_M, q4_0, q4_K_M, q5_0, q5_K_M, q6_K, q8_0

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

Quickstart#

Check out our llama.cpp documentation for more usage guide.

We advise you to clone llama.cpp and install it following the official guide. We follow the latest version of llama.cpp. In the following demonstration, we assume that you are running commands under the repository llama.cpp.

Since cloning the entire repo may be inefficient, you can manually download the GGUF file that you need or use huggingface-cli:

  1. Install
   pip install -U huggingface_hub
  1. Download:
   huggingface-cli download Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-GGUF --include "qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q5_k_m*.gguf" --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

For large files, we split them into multiple segments due to the limitation of file upload. They share a prefix, with a suffix indicating its index. For examples, qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q5_k_m-00001-of-00002.gguf and qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q5_k_m-00002-of-00002.gguf. The above command will download all of them.

  1. (Optional) Merge: For split files, you need to merge them first with the command llama-gguf-split as shown below:
   # ./llama-gguf-split --merge <first-split-file-path> <merged-file-path>
   ./llama-gguf-split --merge qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q5_k_m-00001-of-00002.gguf qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q5_k_m.gguf

For users, to achieve chatbot-like experience, it is recommended to commence in the conversation mode:

./llama-cli -m <gguf-file-path> \
    -co -cnv -p "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant." \
    -fa -ngl 80 -n 512

Evaluation & Performance#

Detailed evaluation results are reported in this 📑 blog.

For quantized models, the benchmark results against the original bfloat16 models can be found here

For requirements on GPU memory and the respective throughput, see results here.
