Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct-int4-ov

• Model creator: Qwen
• Original model: Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct

Description

This is Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct model converted to the OpenVINO™ IR (Intermediate Representation) format with weights compressed to INT4 by NNCF.

Quantization Parameters

Weight compression was performed using nncf.compress_weights with the following parameters:

• mode: INT4_ASYM

For more information on quantization, check the OpenVINO model optimization guide.

Compatibility

The provided OpenVINO™ IR model is compatible with:

• OpenVINO version 2025.2.0 and higher
• Optimum Intel 1.25.0 and higher

Running Model Inference with Optimum Intel

1. Install packages required for using Optimum Intel integration with the OpenVINO backend:

pip install optimum[openvino]

1. Run model inference:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from optimum.intel.openvino import OVModelForCausalLM

model_id = "OpenVINO/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct-int4-ov"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

inputs = tokenizer("write a quick sort algorithm.", return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs)[0]
print(text)

For more examples and possible optimizations, refer to the Inference with Optimum Intel.

Running Model Inference with OpenVINO GenAI

1. Install packages required for using OpenVINO GenAI.

pip install openvino-genai huggingface_hub

1. Download model from HuggingFace Hub

import huggingface_hub as hf_hub

model_id = "OpenVINO/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct-int4-ov"
model_path = "Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct-int4-ov"

hf_hub.snapshot_download(model_id, local_dir=model_path)

1. Run model inference:

import openvino_genai as ov_genai

device = "CPU"
pipe = ov_genai.LLMPipeline(model_path, device)
pipe.get_tokenizer().set_chat_template(pipe.get_tokenizer().chat_template)
print(pipe.generate("write a quick sort algorithm.", max_length=200))
