NEWS:

• Big thanks to @mradermacher for helping us build GGUFs for our Xwen-72B-Chat and Xwen-7B-Chat! The GGUF files have accumulated over 2k downloads in one day 🚀 Our official GGUF repos: xwen-team/Xwen-72B-Chat-i1-GGUF (weighted/imatrix quants) and xwen-team/Xwen-72B-Chat-GGUF (static quants).

Xwen-72B-Chat

1. Introduction

Xwen is a series of open-sourced large language models (currently including Xwen-72B-Chat and Xwen-7B-Chat), post-trained from the pre-trained Qwen2.5 models (i.e., Qwen2.5-72B and Qwen2.5-7B) [1].

🏆 Top-1 chat performance! To the best of our knowledge, at the time of Xwen models' release (February 1, 2025), Xwen-72B-Chat and Xwen-7B-Chat exhibit the best chat performance among open-sourced models below 100B and 10B, respectively, based on evaluation results from widely-used benchmarks such as Arena-Hard-Auto [2], MT-Bench [3], and AlignBench [4]. Please view details in the Evaluation Results part.

🚀 Xwen technical report is on the way! During the training of Xwen models, we have accumulated many technical insights and lessons. To promote the democratization of technology, we are in the process of documenting these insights and lessons in a technical report, which will be released as soon as possible.

2. Usage

[!CAUTION] For optimal performance, we refrain from fine-tuning the model's identity. Thus, inquiries such as "Who are you" or "Who developed you" may yield random responses that are not necessarily accurate.

[!CAUTION] This open-source model is provided "as is," without warranties or liabilities, and users assume all risks associated with its use; users are advised to comply with local laws, and the model's outputs do not represent the views or positions of the developers.

The usage of our Xwen-Chat models is similar to that of the Qwen2.5-Instruct models, with the tokenizer and chat template being identical to those of the Qwen2.5-Instruct models.

Here we provide a python script to demonstrate how to deploy our Xwen models to generate reponses:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "xwen-team/Xwen-72B-Chat"   # Or "xwen-team/Xwen-7B-Chat" if you want to use the 7B model

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language models."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Xwen, created by Xwen Team. You are a helpful assistant."},   # This system prompt is not necessary, and you can put it as an empty string.
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

print(response)
