Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct-GGUF#

Introduction#

Qwen2.5-Coder is the latest series of Code-Specific Qwen large language models (formerly known as CodeQwen). As of now, Qwen2.5-Coder has covered six mainstream model sizes, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 7, 14, 32 billion parameters, to meet the needs of different developers. Qwen2.5-Coder brings the following improvements upon CodeQwen1.5:

  • Significantly improvements in code generation, code reasoning and code fixing. Base on the strong Qwen2.5, we scale up the training tokens into 5.5 trillion including source code, text-code grounding, Synthetic data, etc. Qwen2.5-Coder-32B has become the current state-of-the-art open-source codeLLM, with its coding abilities matching those of GPT-4o.
  • A more comprehensive foundation for real-world applications such as Code Agents. Not only enhancing coding capabilities but also maintaining its strengths in mathematics and general competencies.

This repo contains the instruction-tuned 0.5B Qwen2.5-Coder 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, Attention QKV bias and tied word embeddings
  • Number of Parameters: 0.49B
  • Number of Paramaters (Non-Embedding): 0.36B
  • Number of Layers: 24
  • Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 14 for Q and 2 for KV
  • Context Length: Full 32,768 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, Documentation, Arxiv.

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-Coder-0.5B-Instruct-GGUF qwen2.5-0.5b-coder-instruct-q5_k_m.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

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