Instructions to use Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

@Compactbot check how many parameters this has, make it EXACT

Exact parameter count breakdown for Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B (verified directly against config.json and model.safetensors tensor metadata):

Unique parameters (weights in safetensors): 494,032,768 (~494.03M across 290 tensors)
Embedding parameters (model.embed_tokens.weight, [151936, 896]): 136,134,656
Non-embedding parameters: 357,898,112
Word embeddings tie: tie_word_embeddings is true, so lm_head shares weights with embed_tokens. If counted untied, parameter count would be 630,167,424.
