why do you have split gguf's? ' invalid magic characters'

Hi, please refer to the modelcard.
The command should be llama-gguf-split --merge [path-to-first-shard] [path-to-outfile], that is, in your case:
llama-gguf-split --merge qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q6_k-00001-of-00002.gguf qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q6_k.gguf
It appears that you have overwritten the second shard with your command such that it is not valid split anymore.
Merging is also optional. Running with the first shard should be fine:
llama-cli --model qwen2.5-7b-instruct-q6_k-00001-of-00002.gguf [[other parameters]]
