How to Use Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct Model for Text Generation

Oct 28, 2024 | Educational

Welcome to your ultimate guide on utilizing the Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct model! This powerful large language model introduces a range of enhancements that significantly improve its capabilities in coding, mathematics, and generating structured outputs. Let’s explore how to get started with this innovative tool.

Introduction to Qwen2.5

The Qwen2.5 series offers language models with parameters ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion. With advanced improvements like enhanced instruction following and multilingual support for over 29 languages, it’s designed to handle a wide variety of tasks. In this guide, we’ll focus exclusively on the instruction-tuned 0.5B model, which boasts:

  • Type: Causal Language Models
  • Architecture: Transformers with RoPE, SwiGLU, and attention QKV bias
  • Context Length: Full 32,768 tokens
  • Generative Ability: Up to 8K tokens

Requirements

To get started, ensure that you have the latest version of the Hugging Face Transformers library. Note that using version 4.37.0 may lead to errors, like:

KeyError: qwen2

Quickstart Guide

Here’s a straightforward code snippet to help you load the tokenizer and model, and generate content:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "QwenQwen2.5-0.5B-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]
print(response)

This code snippet acts like a chef’s recipe: you gather your ingredients (load the model and tokenizer), mix them together (create ‘messages’), and finally, bake them (generate the response) to produce a delicious output.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, consider checking the following:

  • Ensure that you have installed the correct version of the Hugging Face Transformers library.
  • If you hit any KeyErrors, verify that your model name is spelled correctly.
  • For performance-related discrepancies, consult the model’s documentation for memory usage details.
