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.

No API provider serves it, so its downloads are people running it themselves: 15 quantized builds and 26 Spaces.

  • As a service0no API provider listed
  • On own hardware15quantized builds

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 3.3 GB at INT4, 6.6 GB at FP8, 13 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

The story so far

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.

Most coverage came in the first two weeks

Teal is the weights (2025-04-30), amber triangles are 8 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

What people built on it

92 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.

92 derivatives on the Hub, led by 39 adapters

From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.

What the card says

1 cited sentence

Summary generated, cited

The model is designed to perceive text, images, audio, and video while generating text and natural speech responses.[1]

  1. “perceive diverse modalities, including text, images, audi…”

What it is good at 3 use cases

Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.

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.
