An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
Other Reported Results
These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
Structured work is what Qwen built this 7.6B instruct model for: reading tables, writing JSON and producing text past 8K tokens, in their words. At 16-bit the run needs 18.3 GB, and the cheapest listed setup, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on-demand, fits ten copies by simple arithmetic. At 4-bit the need falls to 4.6 GB, small enough to share a card with other services.
Apache 2.0 lets you ship it in a product, fine-tuned or not, with notices kept and significant changes stated. It derives from Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B, so the base is there if you would rather tune it yourself. The page lists 32,768 tokens of context and cites arXiv:2309.00071, the YaRN context-extension paper, so confirm which window your serving stack honors before promising long documents. No host quotes it by the token on the SAVRN Index today; the card hour is your cost basis.
SAVRN's Notes on Qwen2.5-Coder-7B
Pick the 7B when you want the Qwen2.5-Coder line without the 14B or 32B bill; it derives from Qwen2.5-7B, and Qwen trained the line on 5.5 trillion tokens of source code, text-code grounding and synthetic data. It needs 18.3 GB at 16-bit, 9.1 GB at 8-bit and 4.6 GB at 4-bit, so the cheapest option we list, one 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 an hour on demand, has room left for the 32,768-token context and for batching many requests on one card.
Apache 2.0 keeps deployment simple: commercial use, modification and redistribution allowed, you keep the license and NOTICE file, state significant changes, and you get an express patent grant from contributors. Two checks: the name carries no instruct tag, so verify that before wiring it to chat, and the config pairs a 131,072-token sliding window with the 32,768 context and cites the YaRN context-extension paper, so test long prompts.
Questions
Which is larger, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct or Qwen2.5-Coder-7B?
