Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

No output_router_logits / load_balancing_loss_func for Qwen3VLMoE?

Qwen3VLMoE does not have output_router_logits and router_aux_loss_coef options (in model config and in forward pass) to output router logits and control the weight of the load_balancing_loss_func of mixture experts. This is usually the case for MoE in HF, like Qwen2MoE (https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/model_doc/qwen2_moe).

router_logits are part of _can_record_outputs in Qwen3VLMoE but not sure how to use those?

Thank you!!

I would try to add them in transformers there days and update here once it’s done.

@plcedoz38 @hamza-hcompany Hi, it's added in this pr: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/41277. Now you can access router_logits with extra args output_router_logits in the model forward!
