# Qwen2 7B Instruct GGUF - llamafile
## Run LLMs locally with a single file - No installation required!
All you need is download a file and run it.
Our goal is to make open source large language models much more
accessible to both developers and end users. We're doing that by
combining [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) with [Cosmopolitan Libc](https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan) into one
framework that collapses all the complexity of LLMs down to
a single-file executable (called a "llamafile") that runs
locally on most computers, with no installation.
## How to Use (Modified from [Git README](https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/tree/8f73d39cf3a767897b8ade6dda45e5744c62356a?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart))
The easiest way to try it for yourself is to download our example llamafile.
With llamafile, all inference happens locally; no data ever leaves your computer.
1. Download the llamafile.
2. Open your computer's terminal.
3. If you're using macOS, Linux, or BSD, you'll need to grant permission
for your computer to execute this new file. (You only need to do this
once.)
```sh
chmod +x qwen2-7b-instruct-q2_k.llamafile
```
4. If you're on Windows, rename the file by adding ".exe" on the end.
5. Run the llamafile. e.g.:
```sh
./qwen2-7b-instruct-q2_k.llamafile
```
6. Your browser should open automatically and display a chat interface.
(If it doesn't, just open your browser and point it at http://localhost:8080.)
7. When you're done chatting, return to your terminal and hit
`Control-C` to shut down llamafile.
Please note that LlamaFile is still under active development. Some methods may be not be compatible with the most recent documents.

## (Following is original model card for Qwen2 7B Instruct GGUF)
# Qwen2-7B-Instruct-GGUF
## Introduction
Qwen2 is the new series of Qwen large language models. For Qwen2, we release a number of base language models and instruction-tuned language models ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters, including a Mixture-of-Experts model. This repo contains the instruction-tuned 7B Qwen2 model.
Compared with the state-of-the-art opensource language models, including the previous released Qwen1.5, Qwen2 has generally surpassed most opensource models and demonstrated competitiveness against proprietary models across a series of benchmarks targeting for language understanding, language generation, multilingual capability, coding, mathematics, reasoning, etc.
For more details, please refer to our [blog](https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/qwen2/), [GitHub](https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen2), and [Documentation](https://qwen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
In this repo, we provide `fp16` model and quantized models in the GGUF formats, including `q5_0`, `q5_k_m`, `q6_k` and `q8_0`.
## Model Details
Qwen2 is a language model series including decoder language models of different model sizes. For each size, we release the base language model and the aligned chat model. It is based on the Transformer architecture with SwiGLU activation, attention QKV bias, group query attention, etc. Additionally, we have an improved tokenizer adaptive to multiple natural languages and codes.
## Training details
We pretrained the models with a large amount of data, and we post-trained the models with both supervised finetuning and direct preference optimization.
## Requirements
We advise you to clone [`llama.cpp`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and install it following the official guide. We follow the latest version of llama.cpp.
In the following demonstration, we assume that you are running commands under the repository `llama.cpp`.
## How to use
Cloning the repo may be inefficient, and thus you can manually download the GGUF file that you need or use `huggingface-cli` (`pip install huggingface_hub`) as shown below:
```shell
huggingface-cli download Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct-GGUF qwen2-7b-instruct-q5_k_m.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
To run Qwen2, you can use `llama-cli` (the previous `main`) or `llama-server` (the previous `server`).
We recommend using the `llama-server` as it is simple and compatible with OpenAI API. For example:
```bash
./llama-server -m qwen2-7b-instruct-q5_k_m.gguf -ngl 28 -fa
```
(Note: `-ngl 28` refers to offloading 24 layers to GPUs, and `-fa` refers to the use of flash attention.)
Then it is easy to access the deployed service with OpenAI API:
```python
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(
base_url="http://localhost:8080/v1", # "http://
:port"
api_key = "sk-no-key-required"
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model="qwen",
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "tell me something about michael jordan"}
]
)
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
```
If you choose to use `llama-cli`, pay attention to the removal of `-cml` for the ChatML template. Instead you should use `--in-prefix` and `--in-suffix` to tackle this problem.
```bash
./llama-cli -m qwen2-7b-instruct-q5_k_m.gguf \
-n 512 -co -i -if -f prompts/chat-with-qwen.txt \
--in-prefix "<|im_start|>user\n" \
--in-suffix "<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n" \
-ngl 24 -fa
```
## Evaluation
We implement perplexity evaluation using wikitext following the practice of `llama.cpp` with `./llama-perplexity` (the previous `./perplexity`).
In the following we report the PPL of GGUF models of different sizes and different quantization levels.
