Qwen2.5-1.5B-tools

Merged BF16 weights of the LoRA tool-calling fine-tune of unsloth/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct. Built by scripts/build_tools_gguf.sh Qwen2.5-1.5B-tools (merge_and_unload of the latest checkpoint in checkpoints/Qwen2.5-1.5B-tools/).

Training

• Recipe: TrainFinetuneRecipeForNextTokenPrediction (NeMo AutoModel 0.5.0)
• Config: configs/qwen25_1.5b_tools.yaml
• LoRA: dim 32, alpha 32, dropout 0.05, target_modules *.proj
• Data: sft_tools split of r0b0tlab/qwen3.8-max-glm5.2-kimi-k3-distillation
• Learning rate: 1e-5 (cosine decay), 501 steps, global batch 64, seq length 4096

Sibling artifacts

• GGUF quantizations: models/Qwen2.5-1.5B-tools-GGUF/
• NVFP4 checkpoint: models/Qwen2.5-1.5B-tools-NVFP4/

Validation matrix

Tool-calling validation on the sft_tools validation split (greedy decoding, 384 max new tokens). Throughput is single-stream greedy decode, not serving throughput.

Pretrained base (unsloth/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct): 8.8% exact-args match (24/274). Fine-tuned (BF16): 0.7% exact-args match (2/274) (-8pp vs base).

• GGUF-BF16: 2/274 (0.7%) exact, 88.6 tok/s — 100% of BF16.
• GGUF-Q4_K_M: 3/274 (1.1%) exact, 142.9 tok/s — 150% of BF16.
• GGUF-Q5_K_M: 6/274 (2.2%) exact, 131.4 tok/s — 300% of BF16.
• GGUF-Q8_0: 2/274 (0.7%) exact, 115.3 tok/s — 100% of BF16.
