Quickstart
The code of Qwen3 has been in the latest Hugging Face transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.
With transformers<4.51.0, you will encounter the following error:
The following contains a code snippet illustrating how to use the model generate content based on given inputs.
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model_name = "Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507" # load the tokenizer and the modeltokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( model_name, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto") # prepare the model inputprompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": prompt}]text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True,)model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) # conduct text completiongenerated_ids = model.generate( **model_inputs, max_new_tokens=16384)output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist() content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True) print("content:", content)
For deployment, you can use sglang>=0.4.6.post1 or vllm>=0.8.5 or to create an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint:
- SGLang:
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 --context-length 262144
- vLLM:
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 --max-model-len 262144
Note: If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) issues, consider reducing the context length to a shorter value, such as 32,768.
For local use, applications such as Ollama, LMStudio, MLX-LM, llama.cpp, and KTransformers have also supported Qwen3.
Agentic Use
Qwen3 excels in tool calling capabilities. We recommend using Qwen-Agent to make the best use of agentic ability of Qwen3. Qwen-Agent encapsulates tool-calling templates and tool-calling parsers internally, greatly reducing coding complexity.
To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.
from qwen_agent.agents import Assistant # Define LLMllm_cfg = { 'model': 'Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507', # Use a custom endpoint compatible with OpenAI API: 'model_server': 'http://localhost:8000/v1', # api_base 'api_key': 'EMPTY',} # Define Toolstools = [ {'mcpServers': { # You can specify the MCP configuration file 'time': { 'command': 'uvx', 'args': ['mcp-server-time', '--local-timezone=Asia/Shanghai'] }, "fetch": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"] } } }, 'code_interpreter', # Built-in tools] # Define Agentbot = Assistant(llm=llm_cfg, function_list=tools) # Streaming generationmessages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/ Introduce the latest developments of Qwen'}]for responses in bot.run(messages=messages): passprint(responses)
Best Practices
To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:
-
Sampling Parameters:
- We suggest using
Temperature=0.7, TopP=0.8, TopK=20, and MinP=0.
- For supported frameworks, you can adjust the
presence_penalty parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetitions. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.
-
Adequate Output Length: We recommend using an output length of 16,384 tokens for most queries, which is adequate for instruct models.
-
Standardize Output Format: We recommend using prompts to standardize model outputs when benchmarking.
- Math Problems: Include "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}." in the prompt.
- Multiple-Choice Questions: Add the following JSON structure to the prompt to standardize responses: "Please show your choice in the
answer field with only the choice letter, e.g., "answer": "C"."
