# mlx-community/qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct-q2

The Model [mlx-community/qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct-q2](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct-q2) was
converted to MLX format from [Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct)
using mlx-lm version **0.20.5**.

## Use with mlx

```bash
pip install mlx-lm
```

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct-q2")

prompt="hello"

if hasattr(tokenizer, "apply_chat_template") and tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
    )

response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
```
