Welcome to this user-friendly guide on utilizing CodeQwen1.5-7B-Chat, a powerful transformer-based language model specifically designed for code generation. With its ability to understand and generate code across 92 programming languages, this model excels in tasks such as text-to-SQL and bug fixing. Let’s dive right into how you can start using it confidently and efficiently!

Introduction to CodeQwen1.5

CodeQwen1.5 is an enhanced version of the Qwen1.5 series, pretrained on an extensive collection of coding data. Its significant features include:

• Robust code generation capabilities with competitive performance on various benchmarks.
• Support for long context generation with an impressive token limit of 64,000 tokens.
• Capability to generate code in 92 different programming languages.

Getting Started: Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have the latest version of Hugging Face transformers installed in your environment. It’s advisable to use transformers version 4.37.0, as using an outdated version can lead to errors such as:

KeyError: qwen2

Quickstart: Generating Code

Now that the setup is complete, let’s proceed with a straightforward code snippet that demonstrates how to load the tokenizer and model, and generate a snippet of code using the model.

python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = 'cuda'  # the device to load the model onto

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    'study-hjt/CodeQwen1.5-7B-Chat-GPTQ-Int8',
    torch_dtype='auto',
    device_map='auto'
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('study-hjt/CodeQwen1.5-7B-Chat-GPTQ-Int8')

prompt = "Write a quicksort algorithm in python."
messages = [
    {'role': 'system', 'content': '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(device)
generated_ids = model.generate(
    model_inputs.input_ids,
    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]
print(response)

Think of this code snippet as having a recipe to bake a cake. Each part of the code serves as an ingredient or step in the preparation process. You start by gathering your ingredients (libraries), and then you mix them together (loading the tokenizer and model). Once your mixture is ready, you can “bake” it (generate code) to get a delicious piece of final output — in this case, the quicksort algorithm!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While using CodeQwen1.5 can be straightforward, you might encounter some hiccups. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• Model Loading Errors: Ensure that you’re using the correct version of transformers. Mismatched versions can lead to various loading errors.
• Performance Issues: If the model is slow or unresponsive, consider optimizing your system resources or revising the hyperparameters in generation_config.json.
• Code Generation Anomalies: For instances of code switching or unexpected outputs, use the hyper-parameters provided in the configuration files.
