Qwen-Audio-Chat
Qwen-Audio (Qwen Large Audio Language Model) is the multimodal version of the large model series, Qwen (abbr. Tongyi Qianwen), proposed by Alibaba Cloud. Qwen-Audio accepts diverse audio (human speech, natural sound, music and song) and text as inputs, outputs text. The contribution of Qwen-Audio include:
- Fundamental audio models: Qwen-Audio is a fundamental multi-task audio-language model that supports various tasks, languages, and audio types, serving as a universal audio understanding model. Building upon Qwen-Audio, we develop Qwen-Audio-Chat through instruction fine-tuning, enabling multi-turn dialogues and supporting diverse audio-oriented scenarios.
- Multi-task learning framework for all types of audios: To scale up audio-language pre-training, we address the challenge of variation in textual labels associated with different datasets by proposing a multi-task training framework, enabling knowledge sharing and avoiding one-to-many interference. Our model incorporates more than 30 tasks and extensive experiments show the model achieves strong performance.
- Strong Performance: Experimental results show that Qwen-Audio achieves impressive performance across diverse benchmark tasks without requiring any task-specific fine-tuning, surpassing its counterparts. Specifically, Qwen-Audio achieves state-of-the-art results on the test set of Aishell1, cochlscene, ClothoAQA, and VocalSound.
- Flexible multi-run chat from audio and text input: Qwen-Audio supports multiple-audio analysis, sound understading and reasoning, music appreciation, and tool usage for speech editing.
Qwen-Audio 是阿里云研发的大规模音频语言模型（Large Audio Language Model）。Qwen-Audio 可以以多种音频 (包括说话人语音、自然音、音乐、歌声）和文本作为输入，并以文本作为输出。Qwen-Audio 系列模型的特点包括：
- 音频基石模型：Qwen-Audio是一个性能卓越的通用的音频理解模型，支持各种任务、语言和音频类型。在Qwen-Audio的基础上，我们通过指令微调开发了Qwen-Audio-Chat，支持多轮、多语言、多语言对话。Qwen-Audio和Qwen-Audio-Chat模型均已开源。
- 兼容多种复杂音频的多任务学习框架：为了避免由于数据收集来源不同以及任务类型不同，带来的音频到文本的一对多的干扰问题，我们提出了一种多任务训练框架，实现相似任务的知识共享，并尽可能减少不同任务之间的干扰。通过提出的框架，Qwen-Audio可以容纳训练超过30多种不同的音频任务；
- 出色的性能：Qwen-Audio在不需要任何任务特定的微调的情况下，在各种基准任务上取得了领先的结果。具体得，Qwen-Audio在Aishell1、cochlscene、ClothoAQA和VocalSound的测试集上都达到了SOTA；
- 支持多轮音频和文本对话，支持各种语音场景：Qwen-Audio-Chat支持声音理解和推理、音乐欣赏、多音频分析、多轮音频-文本交错对话以及外部语音工具的使用(如语音编辑)。
We release Qwen-Audio and Qwen-Audio-Chat, which are pretrained model and Chat model respectively. For more details about Qwen-Audio, please refer to our Github Repo. This repo is the one for Qwen-Audio-Chat.

Quickstart
Below, we provide simple examples to show how to use Qwen-Audio with 🤗 Transformers.
Before running the code, make sure you have setup the environment and installed the required packages. Make sure you meet the above requirements, and then install the dependent libraries.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now you can start with Transformers. For more usage, please refer to tutorial.
🤗 Transformers
To use Qwen-Audio for the inference, all you need to do is to input a few lines of codes as demonstrated below. However, please make sure that you are using the latest code.
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from transformers.generation import GenerationConfig
import torch
torch.manual_seed(1234)
# Note: The default behavior now has injection attack prevention off.
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-Audio-Chat", trust_remote_code=True)
# use bf16
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-Audio-Chat", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True, bf16=True).eval()
# use fp16
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-Audio-Chat", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True, fp16=True).eval()
# use cpu only
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-Audio-Chat", device_map="cpu", trust_remote_code=True).eval()
# use cuda device
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-Audio-Chat", device_map="cuda", trust_remote_code=True).eval()
# Specify hyperparameters for generation (No need to do this if you are using transformers>4.32.0)
# model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-Audio-Chat", trust_remote_code=True)
# 1st dialogue turn
query = tokenizer.from_list_format([
{'audio': 'https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-Audio/1272-128104-0000.flac'}, # Either a local path or an url
{'text': 'what does the person say?'},
])
response, history = model.chat(tokenizer, query=query, history=None)
print(response)
# The person says: "mister quilter is the apostle of the middle classes and we are glad to welcome his gospel".
# 2nd dialogue turn
response, history = model.chat(tokenizer, 'Find the start time and end time of the word "middle classes"', history=history)
print(response)
# The word "middle classes" starts at <|2.33|> seconds and ends at <|3.26|> seconds.
