Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next")
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)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next", 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=256)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

The user specifies that the config is fully functional and correct. The "surprise" is related to a specific option that resulted in 5 GB of something (most likely logs).

Let's re-examine the config from this perspective. What could possibly generate 5 GB?

   access_log off — access logs are disabled on server 443. So, it's not the access logs.
   error_log off — also disabled at the server level.
   limit_req_log_level error — now this is interesting! By default, limit_req_log_level is set to error. This means that every time a limit_req (429) is triggered, an entry is written to the error_log.

But wait, error_log off is set at the server level. Does that mean the error_log isn't being written? Not exactly — error_log off within the server context doesn't disable error logging globally, only at that specific level. In fact, in Nginx, error_log off in a server block means that for this particular server, the error_log is not written. But limit_req_log_level error will still write to the error_log... Hmm, no, error_log off in the server block indeed disables error_log writing for this server.
