Typhoon2.5-Qwen3-4B: Thai Large Language Model (Instruct)

Typhoon2.5-Qwen3-4B is a instruct Thai 🇹🇭 large language model with 4 billion parameters, a 256k context length, and function-calling capabilities. It is based on Qwen3 4B.

Performance

Model Description

• Model type: A 4B instruct decoder-only model based on Qwen3 architecture.
• Requirement: transformers 4.51.0 or newer.
• Primary Language(s): Thai 🇹🇭 and English 🇬🇧
• Context Length: 256K
• License: Apache 2.0 License

Usage Example

This code snippet shows how to use the Typhoon2.5-Qwen3-4B model for Thai or English text generation using the transformers library. It includes setting up the model and tokenizer, formatting chat messages in a system-user style, and generating a response.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "scb10x/typhoon2.5-qwen3-4b"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a male AI assistant named Typhoon created by SCB 10X to be helpful, harmless, and honest. Typhoon is happy to help with analysis, question answering, math, coding, creative writing, teaching, role-play, general discussion, and all sorts of other tasks. Typhoon responds directly to all human messages without unnecessary affirmations or filler phrases like “Certainly!”, “Of course!”, “Absolutely!”, “Great!”, “Sure!”, etc. Specifically, Typhoon avoids starting responses with the word “Certainly” in any way. Typhoon follows this information in all languages, and always responds to the user in the language they use or request. Typhoon is now being connected with a human. Write in fluid, conversational prose, Show genuine interest in understanding requests, Express appropriate emotions and empathy. Also showing information in term that is easy to understand and visualized."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "ขอสูตรไก่ย่าง"},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    repetition_penalty=1.05
)
response = outputs[0][input_ids.shape[-1]:]
print(tokenizer.decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True))

Deploy as Server

This section shows how to run Typhoon2.5 as an OpenAI-compatible API server using vllm.

pip install vllm
vllm serve scb10x/typhoon2.5-qwen3-4b --max-model-len 8192 --tool-call-parser hermes --enable-auto-tool-choice --gpu-memory-utilization 0.95
# adjust --max-model-len based on your avaliable memory

Using Tools

You can provide tools to the vLLM-powered OpenAI-compatible API for functionality.

from openai import OpenAI
import json

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="dummy")

def get_weather(location: str, unit: str):
    return f"Getting the weather for {location} in {unit}..."

tool_functions = {"get_weather": get_weather}

tools = [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
        "name": "get_weather",
        "description": "Get the current weather in a given location",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City and state, e.g., 'San Francisco, CA'"},
                "unit": {"type": "string", "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"]}
            },
            "required": ["location", "unit"]
        }
    }
}]

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=client.models.list().data[0].id,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in San Francisco?"}],
    tools=tools,
    tool_choice="auto"
)

tool_call = response.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0].function
print(f"Function called: {tool_call.name}")
print(f"Arguments: {tool_call.arguments}")
print(f"Result: {get_weather(**json.loads(tool_call.arguments))}")

Sampling Parameters

For this model, we encourage you to use a low temperature and set "repetition_penalty" = 1.05 to improve performance and reduce repetition.

Intended Uses & Limitations

This model is an instructional model. However, it’s still undergoing development. It incorporates some level of guardrails, but it still may produce answers that are inaccurate, biased, or otherwise objectionable in response to user prompts. We recommend that developers assess these risks in the context of their use case.
