Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Thinking-FP8#

This repository contains an FP8 quantized version of the Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Thinking model. The quantization method is fine-grained fp8 quantization with block size of 128, and its performance metrics are nearly identical to those of the original BF16 model. Enjoy!

Meet Qwen3-VL — the most powerful vision-language model in the Qwen series to date.

This generation delivers comprehensive upgrades across the board: superior text understanding & generation, deeper visual perception & reasoning, extended context length, enhanced spatial and video dynamics comprehension, and stronger agent interaction capabilities.

Available in Dense and MoE architectures that scale from edge to cloud, with Instruct and reasoning‑enhanced Thinking editions for flexible, on‑demand deployment.

Key Enhancements:#
  • Visual Agent: Operates PC/mobile GUIs—recognizes elements, understands functions, invokes tools, completes tasks.
  • Visual Coding Boost: Generates Draw.io/HTML/CSS/JS from images/videos.
  • Advanced Spatial Perception: Judges object positions, viewpoints, and occlusions; provides stronger 2D grounding and enables 3D grounding for spatial reasoning and embodied AI.
  • Long Context & Video Understanding: Native 256K context, expandable to 1M; handles books and hours-long video with full recall and second-level indexing.
  • Enhanced Multimodal Reasoning: Excels in STEM/Math—causal analysis and logical, evidence-based answers.
  • Upgraded Visual Recognition: Broader, higher-quality pretraining is able to “recognize everything”—celebrities, anime, products, landmarks, flora/fauna, etc.
  • Expanded OCR: Supports 32 languages (up from 19); robust in low light, blur, and tilt; better with rare/ancient characters and jargon; improved long-document structure parsing.
  • Text Understanding on par with pure LLMs: Seamless text–vision fusion for lossless, unified comprehension.
Model Architecture Updates:#

Image: image

  1. Interleaved-MRoPE: Full‑frequency allocation over time, width, and height via robust positional embeddings, enhancing long‑horizon video reasoning.
  2. DeepStack: Fuses multi‑level ViT features to capture fine‑grained details and sharpen image–text alignment.
  3. Text–Timestamp Alignment: Moves beyond T‑RoPE to precise, timestamp‑grounded event localization for stronger video temporal modeling.

This is the weight repository for Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Thinking-FP8.

Quickstart#

Currently, 🤗 Transformers does not support loading these weights directly. Stay tuned!

We recommend deploying the model using vLLM or SGLang, with example launch commands provided below. For details on the runtime environment and deployment, please refer to this link.

vLLM Inference#

Here we provide a code snippet demonstrating how to use vLLM to run inference with Qwen3-VL locally. For more details on efficient deployment with vLLM, please refer to the community deployment guide.
