Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking
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:
Interleaved-MRoPE: Full‑frequency allocation over time, width, and height via robust positional embeddings, enhancing long‑horizon video reasoning.
DeepStack: Fuses multi‑level ViT features to capture fine‑grained details and sharpen image–text alignment.
Text–Timestamp Alignment: Moves beyond T‑RoPE to precise, timestamp‑grounded event localization for stronger video temporal modeling.

Quickstart
Below, we provide simple examples to show how to use Qwen3-VL with 🤖 ModelScope and 🤗 Transformers.
The code of Qwen3-VL has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to build from source with command:
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
# pip install transformers==4.57.0 # currently, V4.57.0 is not released
Using 🤗 Transformers to Chat
Here we show a code snippet to show you how to use the chat model with transformers:
from transformers import Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
# default: Load the model on the available device(s)
model = Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
"Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking", dtype="auto", device_map="auto"
)
# We recommend enabling flash_attention_2 for better acceleration and memory saving, especially in multi-image and video scenarios.
# model = Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
# "Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking",
# dtype=torch.bfloat16,
# attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
# device_map="auto",
# )
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking")

# Preparation for inference
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=True,
add_generation_prompt=True,
return_dict=True,
return_tensors="pt"
)
inputs = inputs.to(model.device)
# Inference: Generation of the output
generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
generated_ids_trimmed = [
out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
output_text = processor.batch_decode(
generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)
