Vims2-7B
Vims2-7B is a high-performance 7.6 billion parameter large language model based on the Qwen 2.5 architecture. It was developed using the Task Arithmetic merging method to create a specialized model that excels in logical reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, and coding, while maintaining superior instruction-following capabilities in both Italian and English.
Model Details
Description
Vims2-7B is a "Task Vector" merge designed to bridge the gap between general-purpose chat models and specialized logic experts. By extracting the mathematical "task vectors" from the Qwen 2.5 Instruct and Coder variants and injecting them into the base 7B foundation, Vims2-7B achieves state-of-the-art performance for its size class in technical and reasoning benchmarks.

How to Get Started
Inference with Transformers
Vims2-7B is optimized for 4-bit quantization using bitsandbytes to fit within 16GB of VRAM.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
import torch
model_id = "specialv/Vims2-7B"
# Load Tokenizer and Model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
quant_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
load_in_4bit=True,
bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4"
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id,
quantization_config=quant_config,
device_map="auto"
)
# Example Italian Prompt
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Ciao! Puoi spiegarmi cos'è la fusione dei modelli (model merging)?"}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.7)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][len(inputs[0]):], skip_special_tokens=True))
