• Quantization: the practice of quantizing LLMs with GPTQ, AWQ, as well as the guidance for how to make high-quality quantized GGUF files;
• Training: the instructions for post-training, including SFT and RLHF (TODO) with frameworks like Axolotl, LLaMA-Factory, etc.
• Framework: the usage of Qwen with frameworks for application, e.g., RAG, Agent, etc.
• Benchmark: the statistics about inference speed and memory footprint (to be updated for Qwen2.5).

Introduction

In the past three months since Qwen2's release, numerous developers have built new models on the Qwen2 language models, providing us with valuable feedback. During this period, we have focused on creating smarter and more knowledgeable language models. Today, we are excited to introduce the latest addition to the Qwen family: Qwen2.5.

• Dense, easy-to-use, decoder-only language models, available in 0.5B, 1.5B, 3B, 7B, 14B, 32B, and 72B sizes, and base and instruct variants.
• Pretrained on our latest large-scale dataset, encompassing up to 18T tokens.
• 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.
• Context length 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.

Performance

Detailed evaluation results are reported in this 📑 blog.

For requirements on GPU memory and the respective throughput, see results here (to be updated for Qwen2.5).

Quickstart

🤗 Hugging Face Transformers

The latest version of transformers is recommended (at least 4.37.0). Here we show a code snippet to show you how to use the chat model with transformers:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct"

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]

For quantized models, we advise you to use the GPTQ and AWQ correspondents, namely Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int8 and Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-AWQ.

🤖 ModelScope

We strongly advise users especially those in mainland China to use ModelScope. snapshot_download can help you solve issues concerning downloading checkpoints.

💻 Run locally

Ollama

After installing ollama, you can initiate the ollama service with the following command:

ollama serve
# You need to keep this service running whenever you are using ollama

To pull a model checkpoint and run the model, use the ollama run command. You can specify a model size by adding a suffix to qwen2.5, such as :0.5b, :1.5b, :7b, or :72b:

ollama run qwen2.5:7b
# To exit, type "/bye" and press ENTER

You can also access the ollama service via its OpenAI-compatible API. Please note that you need to (1) keep ollama serve running while using the API, and (2) execute ollama run qwen2.5:7b before utilizing this API to ensure that the model checkpoint is prepared.

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    base_url='http://localhost:11434/v1/',
    api_key='ollama',  # required but ignored
)
chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            'role': 'user',
            'content': 'Say this is a test',
        }
    ],
    model='qwen2.5:7b',
)

For additional details, please visit ollama.ai.

llama.cpp

Download our provided GGUF files or create them by yourself, and you can directly use them with the latest llama.cpp with a one-line command:

./llama-cli -m <path-to-file> -n 512 -co -sp -cnv -p "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."

For additional guides, please refer to our documentation.

MLX-LM

If you are running on Apple Silicon, we have also provided checkpoints compatible with mlx-lm. Look for models ending with MLX on HuggingFace Hub, like Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-MLX.

LMStudio

Qwen2.5 has already been supported by lmstudio.ai. You can directly use LMStudio with our GGUF files.

OpenVINO

Qwen2.5 has already been supported by OpenVINO toolkit. You can install and run this chatbot example with Intel CPU, integrated GPU or discrete GPU.

Web UI

Text generation web UI

You can directly use text-generation-webui for creating a web UI demo. If you use GGUF, remember to install the latest wheel of llama.cpp with the support of Qwen2.5.

llamafile

Clone llamafile, run source install, and then create your own llamafile with the GGUF file following the guide here. You are able to run one line of command, say ./qwen.llamafile, to create a demo.

Deployment

Qwen2.5 is supported by multiple inference frameworks. Here we demonstrate the usage of vLLM and SGLang.

vLLM

We advise you to use the latest version of vLLM to build OpenAI-compatible API service, including tool use support. Start the server with a chat model, e.g. Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct:

vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct

Then use the chat API as demonstrated below:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct",
    "messages": [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Tell me something about large language models."}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "top_p": 0.8,
    "repetition_penalty": 1.05,
    "max_tokens": 512
}'

from openai import OpenAI
# Set OpenAI's API key and API base to use vLLM's API server.
openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
openai_api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=openai_api_key,
    base_url=openai_api_base,
)

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Tell me something about large language models."},
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.8,
    max_tokens=512,
    extra_body={
        "repetition_penalty": 1.05,
    },
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

SGLang

Warning

The OpenAI-compatible APIs provided by SGLang currently do NOT support tool use or function calling.

Please install SGLang from source. Similar to vLLM, you need to launch a server and use OpenAI-compatible API service. Start the server first:

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct --port 30000

You can use it in Python as shown below:

from sglang import function, system, user, assistant, gen, set_default_backend, RuntimeEndpoint

@function
def multi_turn_question(s, question_1, question_2):
    s += system("You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant.")
    s += user(question_1)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_1", max_tokens=256))
    s += user(question_2)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_2", max_tokens=256))

set_default_backend(RuntimeEndpoint("http://localhost:30000"))

state = multi_turn_question.run(
    question_1="What is the capital of China?",
    question_2="List two local attractions.",
)

for m in state.messages():
    print(m["role"], ":", m["content"])

print(state["answer_1"])

Tool Use

For tool use capabilities, we recommend taking a look at Qwen-Agent, which provides a wrapper around these APIs to support tool use or function calling. Tool use with Qwen2.5 can also be conducted with Hugging Face transformers, Ollama, and vLLM. Follow guides in our documentation to see how to enable the support.

Finetuning

We advise you to use training frameworks, including Axolotl, Llama-Factory, unsloth, Swift, etc., to finetune your models with SFT, DPO, PPO, etc.

License Agreement

All our open-source models, except for the 3B and 72B variants, are licensed under Apache 2.0. You can find the license files in the respective Hugging Face repositories. It is NOT necessary for you to submit a request for commercial usage.
