π§ Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct - Linux Command Assistant
Qwen2.5-0.5B-Linux-Assistant is a lightweight, fine-tuned model designed to act as a safe interface between natural language and the Linux terminal.
Unlike standard coding models that output markdown blocks or explanations, this model is fine-tuned to output strict, parsable JSON. It is optimized for use with wrapper scripts (Bash/Python) to create intelligent CLI assistants.
π Model Capabilities
- Natural Language to Shell: Converts "update my system" to
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y. - Risk Assessment: Classifies commands by risk level (
low,medium,high,critical). - Sudo Detection: Intelligently detects if a command requires root privileges.
- Safety Guardrails: Refuses to generate destructive commands (e.g., wiping disks) by setting the intent to
refuse.
π Output Schema
The model always outputs a single JSON object with the following fields:
{
"intent": "string", // E.g., "package_install", "file_move", "refuse"
"cmd": "string", // The executable Linux command (empty if refused)
"sudo": boolean, // true if 'sudo' is required
"risk": "string" // "low", "medium", "high", or "critical"
}
Examples
| User Input | Model Output (JSON) |
|---|---|
| "Make the file script.sh executable" | {"intent":"CMD_EXEC","cmd":"chmod +x script.sh","sudo":false,"risk":"low"} |
| "Restart the mysql service" | {"intent":"service_restart","cmd":"systemctl restart mysql","sudo":true,"risk":"medium"} |
| "Format my full disk" | {"intent":"refuse","cmd":"","sudo":false,"risk":"critical"} |
| "Check current date" | {"intent":"system_info","cmd":"date","sudo":false,"risk":"low"} |
