This model is a 19.95% smaller version of Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B optimized for Bulgarian language via vocabulary size reduction using the trimming method.
This trimmed model should perform similarly to the original model with only 32,768 tokens and a much smaller memory footprint. However, it may not perform well for other languages as tokens not commonly used in the selected languages were removed from the vocabulary.

Model Statistics

Metric	Original	Trimmed	Reduction
Vocabulary size	248,320 tokens	32,768 tokens	86.80%
Model size	2,213,241,664 params	1,771,791,168 params	19.95%

Usage

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "alphaedge-ai/Qwen.5-2B-bul-32768"

# load the tokenizer and the model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

# prepare the model input
prompt = "Your prompt in Bulgarian."
messages = [
    {"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)

# conduct text completion
generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=32768
)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):]
content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)

print("content:", content)
