Qwen1.5 is the beta version of Qwen2, a transformer-based decoder-only language model pretrained on a large amount of data. In comparison with the previous released Qwen, the improvements include:

9 model sizes, including 0.5B, 1.8B, 4B, 7B, 14B, 32B, 72B, and 110B dense models, and an MoE model of 14B with 2.7B activated;
Significant performance improvement in human preference for chat models;
Multilingual support of both base and chat models;
Stable support of 32K context length for models of all sizes
No need of trust_remote_code.

For more details, please refer to our blog post and GitHub repo.

Model Details

Qwen1.5 is a language model series including decoder language models of different model sizes. For each size, we release the base language model and the aligned chat model. It is based on the Transformer architecture with SwiGLU activation, attention QKV bias, group query attention, mixture of sliding window attention and full attention, etc. Additionally, we have an improved tokenizer adaptive to multiple natural languages and codes. For the beta version, temporarily we did not include GQA (except for 32B and 110B) and the mixture of SWA and full attention.

Training details

We pretrained the models with a large amount of data, and we post-trained the models with both supervised finetuning and direct preference optimization.

Requirements

The code of Qwen1.5 has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to install transformers>=4.37.0, or you might encounter the following error:

KeyError: 'qwen2'

Quickstart

Here provides a code snippet with apply_chat_template to show you how to load the tokenizer and model and how to generate contents.

python

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

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen1.5-110B-Chat-AWQ",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen1.5-110B-Chat-AWQ")

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
)
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]

Tips

If you encounter code switching or other bad cases, we advise you to use our provided hyper-parameters in generation_config.json.
