Qwen2-Audio is the new series of Qwen large audio-language models. Qwen2-Audio is capable of accepting various audio signal inputs and performing audio analysis or direct textual responses with regard to speech instructions. We introduce two distinct audio interaction modes:

voice chat: users can freely engage in voice interactions with Qwen2-Audio without text input;
audio analysis: users could provide audio and text instructions for analysis during the interaction;

We release Qwen2-Audio-7B and Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct, which are pretrained model and chat model respectively.

For more details, please refer to our Blog, GitHub, and Report.

Requirements

The code of Qwen2-Audio has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to build from source with command pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers, or you might encounter the following error:

KeyError: 'qwen2-audio'

Quickstart

In the following, we demonstrate how to use Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct for the inference, supporting both voice chat and audio analysis modes. Note that we have used the ChatML format for dialog, in this demo we show how to leverage apply_chat_template for this purpose.

Voice Chat Inference

In the voice chat mode, users can freely engage in voice interactions with Qwen2-Audio without text input:

python

from io import BytesIO
from urllib.request import urlopen
import librosa
from transformers import Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct")
model = Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct", device_map="auto")

conversation = [
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/guess_age_gender.wav"},
    ]},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, the speaker is female and in her twenties."},
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/translate_to_chinese.wav"},
    ]},
]
text = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
audios = []
for message in conversation:
    if isinstance(message["content"], list):
        for ele in message["content"]:
            if ele["type"] == "audio":
                audios.append(librosa.load(
                    BytesIO(urlopen(ele['audio_url']).read()), 
                    sr=processor.feature_extractor.sampling_rate)[0]
                )

inputs = processor(text=text, audios=audios, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
inputs.input_ids = inputs.input_ids.to("cuda")

generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=256)
generate_ids = generate_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.size(1):]

response = processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]

Audio Analysis Inference

In the audio analysis, users could provide both audio and text instructions for analysis:

python

from io import BytesIO
from urllib.request import urlopen
import librosa
from transformers import Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct")
model = Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct", device_map="auto")

conversation = [
    {'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful assistant.'}, 
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/glass-breaking-151256.mp3"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "What's that sound?"},
    ]},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "It is the sound of glass shattering."},
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "text", "text": "What can you do when you hear that?"},
    ]},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Stay alert and cautious, and check if anyone is hurt or if there is any damage to property."},
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/1272-128104-0000.flac"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "What does the person say?"},
    ]},
]
text = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
audios = []
for message in conversation:
    if isinstance(message["content"], list):
        for ele in message["content"]:
            if ele["type"] == "audio":
                audios.append(
                    librosa.load(
                        BytesIO(urlopen(ele['audio_url']).read()), 
                        sr=processor.feature_extractor.sampling_rate)[0]
                )

inputs = processor(text=text, audios=audios, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
inputs.input_ids = inputs.input_ids.to("cuda")

generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=256)
generate_ids = generate_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.size(1):]

response = processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]

Batch Inference

We also support batch inference:

python

from io import BytesIO
from urllib.request import urlopen
import librosa
from transformers import Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct")
model = Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct", device_map="auto")

conversation1 = [
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/glass-breaking-151256.mp3"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "What's that sound?"},
    ]},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "It is the sound of glass shattering."},
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/f2641_0_throatclearing.wav"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "What can you hear?"},
    ]}
]

conversation2 = [
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen2-Audio/audio/1272-128104-0000.flac"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "What does the person say?"},
    ]},
]

conversations = [conversation1, conversation2]

text = [processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False) for conversation in conversations]

audios = []
for conversation in conversations:
    for message in conversation:
        if isinstance(message["content"], list):
            for ele in message["content"]:
                if ele["type"] == "audio":
                    audios.append(
                        librosa.load(
                            BytesIO(urlopen(ele['audio_url']).read()), 
                            sr=processor.feature_extractor.sampling_rate)[0]
                    )

inputs = processor(text=text, audios=audios, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
inputs['input_ids'] = inputs['input_ids'].to("cuda")
inputs.input_ids = inputs.input_ids.to("cuda")

generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=256)
generate_ids = generate_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.size(1):]

response = processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)
