Libraries

How to use RedHatAI/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8-dynamic with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="RedHatAI/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8-dynamic")
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, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8-dynamic")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8-dynamic")
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!
I'm currently trying to quantize the newest Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B with 0.9.1.dev129+g9b7fb9f7, but I'm failed either with the transformers v4.57.6:

ValueError: The checkpoint you are trying to load has model type `qwen3_5_moe` but Transformers does not recognize this architecture. This could be because of an issue with the checkpoint, or because your version of Transformers is out of date.

or tf v5.2.0:

ImportError: cannot import name 'TORCH_INIT_FUNCTIONS' from 'transformers.modeling_utils' (/data/quant/src/llm-compressor/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/transformers/modeling_utils.py). Did you mean: 'ROPE_INIT_FUNCTIONS'?

I've seen https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor/issues/2289 (TF5 not yet supported).

So what is the trick? ;-)
