Code with CodeQwen1.5

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction The advent of advanced programming tools, which harnesses the power of large language models (LLMs), has significantly enhanced programmer productivity and accuracy. Notwithstanding these advancements, dominant coding assistants like Github Copilot, built upon proprietary LLMs, pose notable challenges in terms of cost, privacy, security, and potential copyright infringement. Recognizing the imperative for a more transparent and accessible alternative, the open-source community has embarked on a concerted endeavor to develop open codeLLMs....

Qwen1.5-32B: Fitting the Capstone of the Qwen1.5 Language Model Series

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction The open-source community has long sought a model that strikes an ideal balance between performance, efficiency, and memory footprint. Despite the emergence of cutting-edge models like Qwen1.5-72B and DBRX, the models have faced persistent challenges such as large memory consumption, slow inference speed, and substantial finetuning costs. A growing consensus within the field now points to a model with approximately 30 billion parameters as the optimal “sweet spot” for achieving both strong performance and manageable resource requirements....

Qwen1.5-MoE: Matching 7B Model Performance with 1/3 Activated Parameters

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction Since the surge in interest sparked by Mixtral, research on mixture-of-expert (MoE) models has gained significant momentum. Both researchers and practitioners are keenly interested in understanding how to effectively train such models and assessing their efficiency and effectiveness. Today, we introduce Qwen1.5-MoE-A2.7B, a small MoE model with only 2.7 billion activated parameters yet matching the performance of state-of-the-art 7B models like Mistral 7B and Qwen1....

Introducing Qwen1.5

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction In recent months, our focus has been on developing a “good” model while optimizing the developer experience. As we progress towards Qwen1.5, the next iteration in our Qwen series, this update arrives just before the Chinese New Year. With Qwen1.5, we are open-sourcing base and chat models across six sizes: 0.5B, 1.8B, 4B, 7B, 14B, 32B, 72B, and 110B, and also an MoE model (see blog for more information)....

Introducing Qwen-VL

Along with the rapid development of our large language model Qwen, we leveraged Qwen’s capabilities and unified multimodal pretraining to address the limitations of multimodal models in generalization, and we opensourced multimodal model Qwen-VL in Sep. 2023. Recently, the Qwen-VL series has undergone a significant upgrade with the launch of two enhanced versions, Qwen-VL-Plus and Qwen-VL-Max. The key technical advancements in these versions include: Substantially boost in image-related reasoning capabilities; Considerable enhancement in recognizing, extracting, and analyzing details within images and texts contained therein; Support for high-definition images with resolutions above one million pixels and images of various aspect ratios....
