A lightweight Qwen2.5-0.5B model fine-tuned using Unsloth + LoRA (PEFT) for efficient text-generation tasks. This model is optimized for low-VRAM systems, fast inference, and rapid experimentation.

Model Details

Model Description

This model is a parameter-efficient fine-tuned version of the base model:

Base model: unsloth/qwen2.5-0.5b-unsloth-bnb-4bit
Fine-tuning method: LoRA (PEFT)
Quantization: 4-bit (bnb-4bit)
Pipeline: text-generation
Library: PEFT, Transformers, TRL, Unsloth

It is intended as a compact research model for text generation, instruction following, and as a baseline for custom SFT/RLHF projects.

Base Model: unsloth/qwen2.5-0.5b-unsloth-bnb-4bit

Uses

Direct Use

Instruction-style text generation
Chatbot prototyping
Educational or research experiments
Low-VRAM inference (4–6 GB GPU)
Fine-tuning starter model for custom tasks

Downstream Use

Domain-specific SFT
Dataset distillation
RLHF training
Task-specific adapters (classifiers, generators, reasoning tasks)

Out-of-Scope / Avoid

High-accuracy medical/legal decisions
Safety-critical systems
Long-context reasoning competitive with large LLMs
Harmful or malicious use cases

Bias, Risks & Limitations

This model inherits all biases from Qwen2.5 training data and may generate:

Inaccurate or hallucinated information
Social, demographic, or political biases
Unsafe or harmful recommendations if misused

Recommendations

Users must implement:

Output filtering
Safety moderation
Human verification for critical tasks

How to Use

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch
from peft import PeftModel

base = "unsloth/qwen2.5-0.5b-unsloth-bnb-4bit"
adapter = "black279/Qwen_LeetCoder"

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

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter)

inputs = tokenizer("Hello!", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
