Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Flutter-direct

Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B, fine-tuned to generate a complete Flutter/Dart file in one shot from a natural-language goal. Fine-tuned on 5M tokens of flat goal → complete-file examples (bbidpa/flutter-full-examples-v1).

This model is part of a paired comparison studying whether small models benefit more from learning to emit a whole file at once, or from learning to build code up iteratively via small diffs. Its companion on the same base model is Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Flutter-steps. The same comparison is also run on a 100M-parameter model trained fully from scratch: Rainbow-Pony-100M-Flutter-direct / -steps.

Load it

Since Qwen2.5-Coder is a standard, already-registered transformers architecture, plain AutoModel loading works with no custom code:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

REPO = "bbidpa/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Flutter-direct"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(REPO)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(REPO)

For the exact calling convention used in the examples below (and shared with the from-scratch TinyGPT models in this collection), wrap it with these two small adapters instead:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

DEVICE = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

        self.bos_id = self.hf.bos_token_id if self.hf.bos_token_id is not None else self.eos_id
        self.pad_id = self.hf.pad_token_id if self.hf.pad_token_id is not None else self.eos_id
        self.vocab_size = len(self.hf)
        self.tokenizer = self

    def encode(self, text, add_special_tokens=False):

    def id_to_token(self, idx):
        return self.hf.convert_ids_to_tokens([int(idx)])[0]

                logits.view(-1, logits.size(-1)),
                yb.view(-1),
                ignore_index=-100,
            )
        return logits, loss

            do_sample=do_sample if do_sample is not None else (top_k is not None or temperature is not None),
            temperature=temperature if temperature is not None else 1.0,
        )

    @property
    def vocab_size(self):
        return self.hf_model.config.vocab_size


def load_hf_checkpoint(path, device):
    hf_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        path,
        torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32,

    return HFModelWrapper(hf_model).to(device)


tokenizer = QwenTokenizerAdapter(REPO)
model = load_hf_checkpoint(REPO, DEVICE).eval()

Prompt format

Same tag vocabulary as the rest of this collection. <CODE> holds the current file contents (empty for a from-scratch generation), <HISTORY> holds prior steps (unused for this model's typical single-step usage), and the model completes everything after <OUTPUT>:

Write a widget that displays a select button with months in it
</GOAL>
