Visit our Hugging Face or ModelScope organization (click links above), search checkpoints with names starting with Qwen2-beta-, and you will find all you need! Enjoy!

Introduction

This time, we upgrade Qwen to Qwen2-beta, the beta version of Qwen2. Similar to Qwen, it is still a decoder-only transformer model with SwiGLU activation, RoPE, multi-head attention. At this moment, we have achieved:

• 6 model sizes: 0.5B, 1.8B, 4B, 7B, 14B, and 72B;
• Significant model quality improvements in chat models;
• Strengthened multilingual capabilities in both base and chat models;
• All models support the context length of 32768 tokens;
• System prompts enabled for all models, which means roleplay is possible.
• No need of trust_remote_code anymore.

We have not integrated GQA and mixture of SWA and full attention in this version and we will add the features in the future version.

News

• 2024.02.05: We released the Qwen2-beta series.

Performance

Detailed evaluation results are reported in this 📑 blog.

Requirements

• transformers>=4.37.0.

Warning

🚨 This is a must because `transformers` integrated Qwen2 codes in `4.37.0`.

Quickstart

🤗 Hugging Face Transformers

For a quickstart, I advise you to use chat models. We often use base models only for post-training. Here is a simple code snippet:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-beta-7B-Chat", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-beta-7B-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, do_sample=True)

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]

For quantized models, we advise you to use the GPTQ, AWQ, and GGUF correspondents, namely Qwen-beta-7B-Chat-GPTQ, Qwen-beta-7B-Chat-AWQ.

🤖 ModelScope

We strongly advise users especially those in mainland China to use ModelScope. snapshot_download can help you solve issues concerning downloading checkpoints.

💻 Run locally

llama.cpp

Download our provided GGUF files or create them by yourself, and you can directly use them with the latest llama.cpp with a one-line command:

./main -m <path-to-file> -n 512 --color -i -cml -f prompts/chat-with-qwen.txt

Ollama

We are now on Ollama, and you can use pull and run to make things work.

ollama pull qwen2-beta
ollama run qwen2-beta

You can also add things like ::14B to choose different models. Visit ollama.ai for more information.

LMStudio

Qwen2-beta has already been supported by lmstudio.ai. You can directly use LMStudio with our GGUF files.

Web UI

Text generation web UI

You can directly use text-generation-webui for creating a web UI demo. If you use GGUF, remember to install the latest wheel of llama.cpp with the support of Qwen2-beta.

llamafile

Clone llamafile, run source install, and then create your own llamafile with the GGUF file following the guide here. You are able to run one line of command, say ./qwen.llamafile, to create a demo.

Deployment

Now, Qwen2-beta is supported by multiple inference frameworks. Here we demonstrate the usage of vLLM and SGLang.

vLLM

We advise you to use vLLM>=0.3.0 to build OpenAI-compatible API service. Start the server with a chat model, e.g. Qwen2-beta-7B-Chat:

python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model Qwen/Qwen2-beta-7B-Chat

Then use the chat API as demonstrated below:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
    "model": "Qwen/Qwen2-beta-7B-Chat",
    "messages": [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Tell me something about large language models."}
    ]
    }'

from openai import OpenAI
# Set OpenAI's API key and API base to use vLLM's API server.
openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
openai_api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=openai_api_key,
    base_url=openai_api_base,
)

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen2-beta-7B-Chat",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Tell me something about large language models."},
    ]
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

SGLang

Please install SGLang from source. Similar to vLLM, you need to launch a server and use OpenAI-compatible API service. Start the server first:

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen2-beta-7B-Chat --port 30000

You can use it in Python as shown below:

from sglang import function, system, user, assistant, gen, set_default_backend, RuntimeEndpoint

@function
def multi_turn_question(s, question_1, question_2):
    s += system("You are a helpful assistant.")
    s += user(question_1)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_1", max_tokens=256))
    s += user(question_2)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_2", max_tokens=256))

set_default_backend(RuntimeEndpoint("http://localhost:30000"))

state = multi_turn_question.run(
    question_1="What is the capital of China?",
    question_2="List two local attractions.",
)

for m in state.messages():
    print(m["role"], ":", m["content"])

print(state["answer_1"])

Finetuning

We provide a colab notebook for you to experience the simplest way of finetuning. However, we advise you to turn to more advanced training frameworks, including Axolotl, Llama-Factory, Swift, etc.

License Agreement

Check the license of each model inside its HF repo. It is NOT necessary for you to submit a request for commercial usage.
