Welcome to your guide on using the cutting-edge Qwen1.5-110B-Chat model! This article walks you through everything you need to know, from installation to quickstarts, ensuring you have a smooth experience with this impressive language model. So, let’s dive in!

Introduction to Qwen1.5

Qwen1.5 represents the beta release of Qwen2, a transformer-based decoder-only language model that has undergone extensive training on a vast dataset. With nine model sizes, significant performance enhancements, and multilingual support, it’s designed for versatile usage. Key improvements include:

• Multiple model sizes: 0.5B, 1.8B, 4B, 7B, 14B, 32B, 72B, and 110B.
• Improved performance in human preference for chat models.
• Stable support for 32K context length across models.
• No need for trust_remote_code.

Model Details

Qwen1.5 is composed of various decoder language models that are based on the robust Transformer architecture. Features include:

• SwiGLU activation for better performance.
• Attention QKV bias and group query attention for efficient processing.
• A multi-language adaptive tokenizer for advanced natural language processing.

Training Details

The Qwen1.5 models are pretrained on extensive datasets and post-trained through supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization to enhance their capabilities.

Requirements

To work with the Qwen1.5 model, ensure you have the latest version of Hugging Face transformers installed. Specifically, use:

pip install transformers==4.37.0

Without this specific version, you might encounter errors such as KeyError: qwen2.

Quickstart Guide

Let’s demonstrate how to load the tokenizer and model and generate content with a simple code snippet.

python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = 'cuda' # the device to load the model onto
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    'Qwen/Qwen1.5-110B-Chat',
    torch_dtype='auto',
    device_map='auto'
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('Qwen/Qwen1.5-110B-Chat')

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
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]

This snippet efficiently loads the model, processes a prompt, and generates a response. Think of the process as orchestrating a well-rehearsed theater troupe—each actor (or model part) follows a script (the code) to produce a fantastic show (the output).

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues while using the Qwen1.5 model, consider the following:

• Ensure you have the correct Hugging Face transformers library version.
• If experiencing issues like code switching, utilize the hyper-parameters provided in generation_config.json.
• If the model isn’t generating expected responses, verify your prompt structure and input data.
