How to Use Qwen1.5

Using Qwen1.5 can be effortless. Here’s a clear guide to get you started:

  1. Clone the llama.cpp repository or manually download the desired GGUF file.
  2. For a smooth setup, use the command below to download the GGUF file:
  3. 
    huggingface-cli download QwenQwen1.5-32B-Chat-GGUF qwen1_5-32b-chat-q5_k_m.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
        
  4. To run Qwen1.5, execute the following command:
  5. 
    ./main -m qwen1_5-32b-chat-q5_k_m.gguf -n 512 --color -i -cml -f prompts chat-with-qwen.txt
        

Troubleshooting Tips

While the integration of Qwen1.5 is designed to be seamless, you might encounter some hiccups. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

  • If you experience issues with downloading, ensure you have the latest version of the huggingface_hub by executing pip install huggingface_hub.
  • For runtime errors, double-check that all required files are in the correct directory and properly named.
  • If the model functions seem sluggish, consider using a smaller model size or optimizing your environment parameters.
  • In case of any persistent bugs, seek community help in forums or report the issue on GitHub.
