# kerasformers/qwen2-7b-instruct

Qwen2 is Alibaba's decoder-only transformer family: grouped-query attention with q/k/v bias, SwiGLU MLPs, RMSNorm, and rotary positions, in dense 0.5B-72B sizes (plus the Qwen2-57B-A14B mixture-of-experts), as base and instruct variants.

For more details on the model, please see the upstream [model card](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct).

Pure-**Keras 3** conversion of [`Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct) for [kerasformers](https://github.com/IMvision12/KerasFormers). One implementation runs unmodified on **TensorFlow / Torch / JAX**.

This is an **instruct** (chat-tuned) checkpoint; load `Qwen2Tokenizer` so the chat template is applied.

## Quick start

```python
import os
os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "torch"  # or "jax" / "tensorflow"

from kerasformers.models.qwen2 import Qwen2TextGenerate, Qwen2Tokenizer

model = Qwen2TextGenerate.from_weights("kerasformers/qwen2-7b-instruct")
tokenizer = Qwen2Tokenizer.from_weights("kerasformers/qwen2-7b-instruct")

inputs = tokenizer([
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain rotary embeddings in one sentence."}
])
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

Load any Qwen2 variant the same way with `from_weights("kerasformers/<variant>")`:

| Variant | Hub | Type |

| `qwen1.5-moe-a2.7b-chat` | [`kerasformers/qwen1.5-moe-a2.7b-chat`](https://huggingface.co/kerasformers/qwen1.5-moe-a2.7b-chat) | MoE chat |

## Tips

- Set `KERAS_BACKEND` **before** importing Keras / kerasformers.
- Prefer `Qwen2Tokenizer.from_weights(...)` so the chat template matches.
- Larger checkpoints: try `load_dtype="bfloat16"` or `quantization="int8"`.
- See [Loading Weights](https://imvision12.github.io/KerasFormers/loading_weights/) and the [Qwen2 docs](https://imvision12.github.io/KerasFormers/qwen2/).
- Community / upstream safetensors still work via the `hf:` prefix, e.g. `Qwen2TextGenerate.from_weights("hf:Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct")`.

## Special Thanks

A huge thank you to the Qwen team at Alibaba for creating and releasing these models.
