From the model card
Qwen2.5-Coder is the latest series of Code-Specific Qwen large language models (formerly known as CodeQwen). As of now, Qwen2.5-Coder has covered six mainstream model sizes, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 7, 14, 32 billion parameters, to meet the needs of different developers. Qwen2.5-Coder brings the following improvements upon CodeQwen1.5:
This repo contains the instruction-tuned 7B Qwen2.5-Coder model, which has the following features:
For more details, please refer to our blog, GitHub, Documentation, Arxiv.
The code of Qwen2.5-Coder has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.
With transformers<4.37.0, you will encounter the following error:
KeyError: 'qwen2'
Here provides a code snippet with apply_chat_template to show you how to load the tokenizer and model and how to generate contents.
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
prompt = "write a quick sort algorithm."
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]
The current config.json is set for context length up to 32,768 tokens.
To handle extensive inputs exceeding 32,768 tokens, we utilize YaRN, a technique for enhancing model length extrapolation, ensuring optimal performance on lengthy texts.
For supported frameworks, you could add the following to config.json to enable YaRN:
{
...,
"rope_scaling": {
"factor": 4.0,
"original_max_position_embeddings": 32768,
"type": "yarn"
}
}
For deployment, we recommend using vLLM.
Please refer to our Documentation for usage if you are not familar with vLLM.
Presently, vLLM only supports static YARN, which means the scaling factor remains constant regardless of input length, potentially impacting performance on shorter texts.
We advise adding the rope_scaling configuration only when processing long contexts is required.
Detailed evaluation results are reported in this 📑 blog.
