I can set this up end to end: pick the model size, deploy it on your server and connect it to your systems.

Frequently asked questions

Can XiYanSQL-QwenCoder be used in a commercial project?

Yes. License: Apache 2.0. It allows commercial use, but it is still worth having a lawyer review the license before launch.

What hardware does XiYanSQL-QwenCoder need?

At minimum: Laptop or regular PC, up to 8 GB of VRAM — smaller versions. Some versions also run on an ordinary CPU, without a GPU. You can calculate the exact VRAM for your model size and context in the hardware calculator.

Does XiYanSQL-QwenCoder support Russian?

No. The model card lists its languages and Russian is not among them.

Where can I download XiYanSQL-QwenCoder and what does it cost?
