Qwen

Qwen (通义千问) are a family of language models developed by Alibaba Cloud.1 The architecture of the Qwen models is similar to Llama except for the bias in the attention layers.

Setup

First download and convert the model with:

python convert.py

To generate a 4-bit quantized model, use -q. For a full list of options:

The script downloads the model from Hugging Face. The default model is Qwen/Qwen-1_8B. Check out the Hugging Face page to see a list of available models.

By default, the conversion script will make the directory mlx_model and save the converted weights.npz and config.json there.

Generate

To generate text with the default prompt:

python qwen.py

If you change the model, make sure to pass the corresponding tokenizer. E.g., for Qwen 7B use:

python qwen.py --tokenizer  Qwen/Qwen-7B

To see a list of options, run:

python qwen.py --help
