What prompt template format should I use please
Hi! This is a Qwen2.5 Instruct merge, so I'm successfully using the standard template:
{{- if .Messages }}
{{- if or .System .Tools }}<|im_start|>system
{{- if .System }}
{{ .System }}
{{- end }}
{{- if .Tools }}
# Tools
You may call one or more functions to assist with the user query.
You are provided with function signatures within <tools></tools> XML tags:
<tools>
{{- range .Tools }}
{"type": "function", "function": {{ .Function }}}
{{- end }}
</tools>
For each function call, return a json object with function name and arguments within <tool_call></tool_call> XML tags:
<tool_call>
{"name": <function-name>, "arguments": <args-json-object>}
</tool_call>
{{- end }}<|im_end|>
{{ end }}
{{- range $i, $_ := .Messages }}
{{- $last := eq (len (slice $.Messages $i)) 1 -}}
{{- if eq .Role "user" }}<|im_start|>user
{{ .Content }}<|im_end|>
{{ else if eq .Role "assistant" }}<|im_start|>assistant
{{ if .Content }}{{ .Content }}
{{- else if .ToolCalls }}<tool_call>
{{ range .ToolCalls }}{"name": "{{ .Function.Name }}", "arguments": {{ .Function.Arguments }}}
{{ end }}</tool_call>
{{- end }}{{ if not $last }}<|im_end|>
{{ end }}
{{- else if eq .Role "tool" }}<|im_start|>user
<tool_response>
{{ .Content }}
</tool_response><|im_end|>
{{ end }}
{{- if and (ne .Role "assistant") $last }}<|im_start|>assistant
{{ end }}
{{- end }}
{{- else }}
{{- if .System }}<|im_start|>system
{{ .System }}<|im_end|>
{{ end }}{{ if .Prompt }}<|im_start|>user
{{ .Prompt }}<|im_end|>
{{ end }}<|im_start|>assistant
{{ end }}{{ .Response }}{{ if .Response }}<|im_end|>{{ end }}
Here's a much simpler one from its ancestor Lumen's GGUF, if it suits you:
<|im_start|>system
{system_prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Please note that as a multi-stage model merge, this model has not undergone the fine-tuning needed for optimal tool use. For regular queries, though, I've gotten highly useful results.
