Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B")
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/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B")
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]:]))

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say a huge thank you to the Qwen team for releasing Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and continuing to champion the open-source community. It honestly feels like a gift, especially for everyday developers and creators who just want access to smart, reliable tools without the usual headaches. You’ve made the whole experience way smoother and more intuitive, and it’s clear you actually listen to what users need and care about real-world usability. Seriously, thanks for keeping AI open, accessible, and genuinely useful for everyone. This kind of generosity is what keeps the whole community thriving!

This model is crazy in coding. Just a short promt "Create a Playable Synth Keyboard using html,css,js". It created 1200+ lines of code, and best ever result I've seen, by far.
