Potential use cases for Qwen-0.5B

[Tejaswgupta]

What are some of the intended use cases for the 0.5B model.
There are not a lot of other similar sized models and neither is there a lot of hype around them. Though general audience seems to love the 2B+ models.

From what we gathered, it can be used

1. as the model for speculative decoding
2. to be finetuned for specific tasks
3. on edge devices
4. as the model in integration tests
5. to just have fun

0.5B models can be quite good reward model, given that rewarding is a lighter task.
