Instructions to use Qwen/Qwen3-4B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen3-4B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Qwen/Qwen3-4B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-4B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-4B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.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(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

vLLM

How to use Qwen/Qwen3-4B with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "Qwen/Qwen3-4B"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "Qwen/Qwen3-4B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/Qwen/Qwen3-4B

SGLang

How to use Qwen/Qwen3-4B with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang
# Start the SGLang server:
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path "Qwen/Qwen3-4B" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "Qwen/Qwen3-4B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker images

docker run --gpus all \
    --shm-size 32g \
    -p 30000:30000 \
    -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
    --env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" \
    --ipc=host \
    lmsysorg/sglang:latest \
    python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
        --model-path "Qwen/Qwen3-4B" \
        --host 0.0.0.0 \

Hi,

I am not able to finetune Qwen3-4B model by using parameters;

FastVisionModel.for_training(model) # Enable for training!

trainer = SFTTrainer(
model = model,
tokenizer = tokenizer,
data_collator = UnslothVisionDataCollator(model, tokenizer),
train_dataset = processed_dataset,
args = SFTConfig(
per_device_train_batch_size = 2,
gradient_accumulation_steps = 4,
warmup_steps = 5,
max_steps = 30,
learning_rate = 2e-4,
fp16 = not is_bf16_supported(),
bf16 = is_bf16_supported(),
logging_steps = 1,
optim = "adamw_8bit",
weight_decay = 0.01,
lr_scheduler_type = "linear",
seed = 3407,
output_dir = "outputs",
report_to = "none",
remove_unused_columns = False,
dataset_text_field = "",
dataset_kwargs = {"skip_prepare_dataset": True},
dataset_num_proc = 4,
max_seq_length = 2048,
),
)

Returns
TypeError: Unsloth: UnslothVisionDataCollator is only for image models!

Can anyone help me?

is your dataset text based?

No. It is image based
