Welcome to the world of Qwen1.5-4B-Chat-GGUF, a remarkable transformer-based decoder-only language model that represents the next leap in AI communication. This article will guide you through the process of utilizing this innovative tool efficiently and effectively.

Introduction to Qwen1.5

Qwen1.5 is a beta version of Qwen2, equipped with various improvements over its predecessor. The key features include:

• Multiple model sizes: 0.5B, 1.8B, 4B, 7B, 14B, 32B, and 72B dense models, plus a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model of 14B with 2.7B activated.
• Enhanced human preference for chat models.
• Support for multiple languages in both base and chat models.
• Stable support for 32K context length for all model sizes.
• No dependency on trust_remote_code.

Model Performance Visualization

To showcase the performance of the various models, the table below displays the perplexity scores evaluated on the Wiki test set:

Size     fp16     q8_0     q6_k     q5_k_m   q5_0     q4_k_m   q4_0     q3_k_m   q2_k  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.5B     34.20    34.22    34.31    33.80    34.02    34.27    36.74    38.25    62.14   
1.8B     15.99    15.99    15.99    16.09    16.01    16.22    16.54    17.03    19.99   
4B       13.20    13.21    13.28    13.24    13.27    13.61    13.44    13.67    15.65   
7B       14.21    14.24    14.35    14.32    14.12    14.35    14.47    15.11    16.57   
14B      10.91    10.91    10.93    10.98    10.88    10.92    10.92    11.24    12.27   
32B      8.87     8.89     8.91     8.94     8.93     8.96     9.17     9.14     10.51   
72B      7.97     7.99     7.99     7.99     8.01     8.00     8.01     8.06     8.63

Understanding this table is like interpreting the performance of athletes in a race. Each model size is like a runner, showing how quickly they can respond (or perplexity) under various conditions (quantization levels). A lower perplexity score indicates a better performance, just as a lower time indicates a faster runner.

How to Use Qwen1.5

Getting Qwen1.5 up and running involves a few steps. Let’s break it down:

1. Clone the required repository as per the official instructions from llama.cpp. However, cloning might be inefficient.
2. Alternatively, you can manually download the GGUF file or use huggingface-cli for installation:

huggingface-cli download QwenQwen1.5-4B-Chat-GGUF qwen1_5-4b-chat-q8_0.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

3. To utilize Qwen1.5, execute the following command:

./main -m qwen1_5-4b-chat-q8_0.gguf -n 512 --color -i -cml -f prompts/chat-with-qwen.txt

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues while using Qwen1.5, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure all dependencies are properly installed, especially if manual installation was conducted.
• If performance seems lacking, double-check that you are using the appropriate model size for your data.
• Run your commands in a terminal that supports the required color and I/O options.
