Qwen2.5-Coder-32B is an LLM that can code well that runs on my Mac

Alibaba released the Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct model, an Apache 2.0 licensed open-source LLM.

  • The model requires a workaround for an SSL bug when using the standard library instead of requests or httpx.
  • Running the Ollama version was too slow because the author did not have the tool compiled to use the Mac's GPU.

Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Served by 1 API provider; 22 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (56 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).

Qwen2.5 introduces dense decoder-only models pretrained on up to 18 trillion tokens, available in sizes from 0.5B to 72B parameters. Most variants are licensed under Apache 2.0, excluding the 3B and 72B models, and support a 128K context window with 8K generation limits. Specialized versions for coding and mathematics offer enhanced performance on benchmarks like HumanEval and MATH.written, reviewed, cited
  • Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct outperforms many larger language models across a range of programming languages and tasks.
  • Qwen2.5-Math-72B-Instruct general performance surpasses both Qwen2-Math-72B-Instruct and GPT4-o.

Alibaba released the Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct model, an Apache 2.0 licensed open-source LLM. The 32B model runs on a 64GB MacBook Pro M2 via Ollama or MLX, fetching a 20GB quantized file. On MLX, it achieved 10.016 tokens-per-sec generation speed with 32.685 GB peak memory usage.written, reviewed, cited
  • The model requires a workaround for an SSL bug when using the standard library instead of requests or httpx.
  • Running the Ollama version was too slow because the author did not have the tool compiled to use the Mac's GPU.
