Model card

From the publisher at commit 5788aee. Shown as plain text with links; images open at the publisher.

ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Q8_0-GGUF#

This model was converted to GGUF format from Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

Use with llama.cpp#

Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

brew install llama.cpp

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:#
llama-cli --hf-repo ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file qwen2.5-coder-0.5b-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
Server:#
llama-server --hf-repo ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file qwen2.5-coder-0.5b-q8_0.gguf -c 2048

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the usage steps listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with LLAMA_CURL=1 flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).

cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.

./llama-cli --hf-repo ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file qwen2.5-coder-0.5b-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

or 

./llama-server --hf-repo ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file qwen2.5-coder-0.5b-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
