Libraries

How to use Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev")
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("Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev", device_map="auto")
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]:]))

Hi, thank you for release!

Please write if you use MLA (Multi-Head Latent Attention) to save up KV cache.

UPD:
Surprisingly, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.05471 you attached here doesn't mention attention either.

Thanks for your question!
KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev is fine-tuned based on the original Qwen3.6-35BA3B checkpoint. We did not modify the underlying model architecture, so the attention mechanism remains consistent with the base model.
