            {"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 AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("stepfun-ai/Step-3.7-Flash", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

 ## 1. Introduction
 Step 3.7 Flash is a 198B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) vision-language model that combines a 196B-parameter language backbone with a 1.8B-parameter vision encoder for native image understanding. Engineered for high-frequency production workloads, it activates approximately 11B parameters per token and delivers a throughput of up to 400 tokens per second. Step 3.7 Flash supports a 256k context window and offers three selectable reasoning levels (low, medium, and high) so developers can easily balance speed, cost, and cognitive depth.
