TRL v1.3 ships day-one training support for Qwen 3.6 🚀
The new Qwen 3.6 family (
Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B, Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B) reuses the Qwen3.5-MoE architecture but ships a slightly different chat template, so we updated the stack end-to-end: new training template with {% generation %} markers, tool-call response schema routing, tiny test models for the VLM matrix.SFT with assistant-only loss works out of the box:
from trl import SFTConfig, SFTTrainer
trainer = SFTTrainer(
model="Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B",
args=SFTConfig(assistant_only_loss=True),
train_dataset=dataset,
)
trainer.train()So does GRPO tool-calling — just hand
tools=[...] to GRPOTrainer.v1.3 also brings a new experimental TPO trainer (Triple Preference Optimization), speculative decoding in
trl vllm-serve (Qwen3 MTP / Eagle3 drafts), 12 more KTO ↔ DPO alignment PRs (KTO promotion to stable is now in reach), three more {% generation %} chat templates (Gemma/Gemma 2, Phi-3, GLM-4-MoE), and a chunky SFT entropy bug fix.Full release notes: https://github.com/huggingface/trl/releases/tag/v1.3.0
