Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct is a 3-billion-parameter instruction-tuned language model published on Hugging Face by the Qwen team. It forms part of the Qwen2.5 series of foundation models and is provided for download and local use.
The model includes a chat template that defines its default system prompt as "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant." The template supports multi-turn conversations and supplies explicit formatting for tool use. When tools are supplied, the prompt instructs the model to call one or more functions by emitting structured XML blocks containing a JSON object with function name and arguments. This mechanism allows the model to request external assistance while following a defined XML-based call format.
The model is distributed as open-source weights on the Hugging Face repository. No pricing, licensing terms, or usage restrictions are stated on the page. It is delivered as downloadable model files that can be loaded with standard Hugging Face libraries for inference on compatible hardware.
