Libraries

How to use empero-ai/Qwen3.8-9B-Distill with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="empero-ai/Qwen3.8-9B-Distill")
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)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("empero-ai/Qwen3.8-9B-Distill")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("empero-ai/Qwen3.8-9B-Distill", 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=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

The way the repo is named suggests that this is the official Qwen3.8-9B model - it is not; it is Qwen3.5-9B that is finetuned with traces from 3.8

The way this repo has been named is intellectually fraudulent and not fair to the Alibaba / Qwen team

How can you be so sure ?
Do you work at Alibaba, or are you part of the Qwen team ?
