Introduction

After months of efforts, we are pleased to announce the evolution from Qwen1.5 to Qwen2. This time, we bring to you:

• Pretrained and instruction-tuned models of 5 sizes, including Qwen2-0.5B, Qwen2-1.5B, Qwen2-7B, Qwen2-57B-A14B, and Qwen2-72B;
• Having been trained on data in 27 additional languages besides English and Chinese;
• State-of-the-art performance in a large number of benchmark evaluations;
• Significantly improved performance in coding and mathematics;
• Extended context length support up to 128K tokens with Qwen2-7B-Instruct and Qwen2-72B-Instruct.

News

• 2024.06.06: We released the Qwen2 series. Check our blog!
• 2024.03.28: We released the first MoE model of Qwen: Qwen1.5-MoE-A2.7B! Temporarily, only HF transformers and vLLM support the model. We will soon add the support of llama.cpp, mlx-lm, etc. Check our blog for more information!
• 2024.02.05: We released the Qwen1.5 series.

Performance

Detailed evaluation results are reported in this 📑 blog.

Requirements

• transformers>=4.40.0 for Qwen2 dense and MoE models. The latest version is recommended.

Warning

🚨 This is a must because `transformers` integrated Qwen2 codes since `4.37.0` and Qwen2Moe code since `4.40.0`.

For requirements on GPU memory and the respective throughput, see results here.

Quickstart

🤗 Hugging Face Transformers

Here we show a code snippet to show you how to use the chat model with transformers:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct"
device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto

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 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,
    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]

For quantized models, we advise you to use the GPTQ and AWQ correspondents, namely Qwen2-7B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int8, Qwen2-7B-Instruct-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

Ollama

Note

Ollama provides an OpenAI-compatible API, which however does NOT support function calling. For tool use capabilities, consider using Qwen-Agent, which offers a wrapper for function calling over the API.

After installing ollama, you can initiate the ollama service with the following command:

ollama serve
# You need to keep this service running whenever you are using ollama

To pull a model checkpoint and run the model, use the ollama run command. You can specify a model size by adding a suffix to qwen2, such as :0.5b, :1.5b, :7b, or :72b:

ollama run qwen2:7b
# To exit, type "/bye" and press ENTER

You can also access the ollama service via its OpenAI-compatible API. Please note that you need to (1) keep ollama serve running while using the API, and (2) execute ollama run qwen2:7b before utilizing this API to ensure that the model checkpoint is prepared.

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    base_url='http://localhost:11434/v1/',
    api_key='ollama',  # required but ignored
)
chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            'role': 'user',
            'content': 'Say this is a test',
        }
    ],
    model='qwen2:7b',
)

If you have encountered problems related to quantized models on GPU, please try one of the following:

• Upgrading ollama to at least 0.1.42.

• Enabling the flash attention implementation in the llama.cpp backend (for ollama over 0.1.39)

  OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1 ollama serve
  

  or following the instructions at ollama faq to configure the environment variables in ollama service.

• Disabling running on GPU in the ollama app:

  >>> /set parameter num_gpu 0
  Set parameter 'num_gpu' to '0'
  

For additional details, please visit ollama.ai.

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

If you have encountered problems related to quantized models on GPU, please try passing the -fa argument to enable the flash attention implementation in newest version of llama.cpp.

MLX-LM

If you are running on Apple Silicon, we have also provided checkpoints compatible with mlx-lm. Look for models ending with MLX on HuggingFace Hub, like Qwen2-7B-Instruct-MLX.

LMStudio

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

OpenVINO

Qwen2 has already been supported by OpenVINO toolkit. You can install and run this chatbot example with Intel CPU, integrated GPU or discrete GPU.

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.

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

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

Warning

The OpenAI-compatible APIs provided by vLLM and SGLang currently do NOT support function calling. For tool use capabilities, Qwen-Agent provides a wrapper around these APIs to support function calling.

vLLM

We advise you to use vLLM>=0.4.0 to build OpenAI-compatible API service. Start the server with a chat model, e.g. Qwen2-7B-Instruct:

python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --served-model-name Qwen2-7B-Instruct --model Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct 

Then use the chat API as demonstrated below:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
    "model": "Qwen2-7B-Instruct",
    "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="Qwen2-7B-Instruct",
    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

Note

SGLang now does NOT support the Qwen2MoeForCausalLM architecture, thus making Qwen2-57B-A14B incompatible.

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/Qwen2-7B-Instruct --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 advise you to use training frameworks, including Axolotl, Llama-Factory, Swift, etc., to finetune your models with SFT, DPO, PPO, etc.

🐳 Docker

To simplify the deployment process, we provide docker images with pre-built environments: qwenllm/qwen. You only need to install the driver and download model files to launch demos and finetune the model.

docker run --gpus all --ipc=host --network=host --rm --name qwen2 -it qwenllm/qwen:2-cu121 bash

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.
