Getting started

You must obtain an API key and set the API key as an environment variable. If you use the OpenAI SDK or DashScope SDK to make calls, you must also install the SDK.

OpenAI compatible

Python

from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.getenv("DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"), # Do not hard-code credentials in your code. Always use environment variables or a key management service.
    base_url="https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1",
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen-math-plus",
    messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Derive a universal solution for the quadratic equation $ Ax^2+Bx+C=0 $'}])
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

curl

curl --location "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/chat/completions" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
    "model": "qwen-math-plus",
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "user", 
            "content": "Derive a universal solution for the quadratic equation $ Ax^2+Bx+C=0 $"
        }
    ]
}'

DashScope

Python

from http import HTTPStatus
import dashscope


def call_with_messages():
    messages = [
        {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Derive a universal solution for the quadratic equation $ Ax^2+Bx+C=0 $'}]
    response = dashscope.Generation.call(
        model='qwen-math-plus',
        messages=messages,
        # Set result_format to message.
        result_format='message',  
    )
    if response.status_code == HTTPStatus.OK:
        print(response)
    else:
        print('Request id: %s, Status code: %s, error code: %s, error message: %s' % (
            response.request_id, response.status_code,
            response.code, response.message
        ))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    call_with_messages()

curl --location "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/text-generation/generation" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \

You can also go to the Model Studio console to try out the model.

Recommendations

  1. Use English and LaTeX: Qwen-Math is designed for mathematical problems in English. For best results, use LaTeX for mathematical symbols and formulas in your input.

  2. Standardize output: Use partial mode for precise control. It ensures that the output closely follows the provided prefix, which improves the accuracy and control of the results.

  3. The model is set to temperature=0 by default. No adjustment is required.

  4. Retrieve results easily: Qwen-Math places the final result in a \boxed{} block by default.

FAQ

How can I use Qwen-Math to solve mathematical problems in images?

Qwen-Math does not support image input.

  • If an image contains simple mathematical problems, you can use Qwen-VL or QVQ.

  • If an image contains complex mathematical problems, you can first use Qwen-VL or QVQ to extract the text from the image. Then, use Qwen-Math to solve the problem.

For more information about the input and response parameters of Qwen-Math, see Qwen API reference.

Where can I find detailed information about error codes?

If a call fails, see Error messages for troubleshooting.
