Qwen2.5-Coder-7B

Introduction

Qwen2.5-Coder is the latest series of Code-Specific Qwen large language models (formerly known as CodeQwen). As of now, Qwen2.5-Coder has covered six mainstream model sizes, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 7, 14, 32 billion parameters, to meet the needs of different developers. Qwen2.5-Coder brings the following improvements upon CodeQwen1.5:

Significantly improvements in code generation, code reasoning and code fixing. Base on the strong Qwen2.5, we scale up the training tokens into 5.5 trillion including source code, text-code grounding, Synthetic data, etc. Qwen2.5-Coder-32B has become the current state-of-the-art open-source codeLLM, with its coding abilities matching those of GPT-4o.
A more comprehensive foundation for real-world applications such as Code Agents. Not only enhancing coding capabilities but also maintaining its strengths in mathematics and general competencies.
Long-context Support up to 128K tokens.

This repo contains the 7B Qwen2.5-Coder model, which has the following features:

Type: Causal Language Models
Training Stage: Pretraining
Architecture: transformers with RoPE, SwiGLU, RMSNorm, and Attention QKV bias
Number of Parameters: 7.61B
Number of Paramaters (Non-Embedding): 6.53B
Number of Layers: 28
Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 28 for Q and 4 for KV
Context Length: Full 131,072 tokens
- Please refer to this section for detailed instructions on how to deploy Qwen2.5 for handling long texts.

We do not recommend using base language models for conversations. Instead, you can apply post-training, e.g., SFT, RLHF, continued pretraining, etc., or fill in the middle tasks on this model.

For more details, please refer to our blog, GitHub, Documentation, Arxiv.

Requirements

The code of Qwen2.5-Coder has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.

With transformers<4.37.0, you will encounter the following error:

KeyError: 'qwen2'

Processing Long Texts

The current config.json is set for context length up to 32,768 tokens. To handle extensive inputs exceeding 32,768 tokens, we utilize YaRN, a technique for enhancing model length extrapolation, ensuring optimal performance on lengthy texts.

For supported frameworks, you could add the following to config.json to enable YaRN:

{
  ...,
  "rope_scaling": {
    "factor": 4.0,
    "original_max_position_embeddings": 32768,
    "type": "yarn"
  }
}

For deployment, we recommend using vLLM. Please refer to our Documentation for usage if you are not familar with vLLM. Presently, vLLM only supports static YARN, which means the scaling factor remains constant regardless of input length, potentially impacting performance on shorter texts. We advise adding the rope_scaling configuration only when processing long contexts is required.
