## Model Overview

**Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-FP8** has the following features:
- Type: Causal Language Models
- Training Stage: Pretraining & Post-training
- Number of Parameters: 30.5B in total and 3.3B activated
- Number of Layers: 48
- Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 32 for Q and 4 for KV
- Number of Experts: 128
- Number of Activated Experts: 8
- Context Length: **262,144 natively**. 

**NOTE: This model supports only non-thinking mode and does not generate ``<think></think>`` blocks in its output. Meanwhile, specifying `enable_thinking=False` is no longer required.**

For more details, including benchmark evaluation, hardware requirements, and inference performance, please refer to our [blog](https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/qwen3-coder/), [GitHub](https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3-Coder), and [Documentation](https://qwen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).


## Quickstart

We advise you to use the latest version of `transformers`.

With `transformers<4.51.0`, you will encounter the following error:
```
KeyError: 'qwen3_moe'
```

The following contains a code snippet illustrating how to use the model generate content based on given inputs. 
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-FP8"

# load the tokenizer and the model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

# prepare the model input
prompt = "Write a quick sort algorithm."
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

# conduct text completion
generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=65536
)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist() 

content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)

print("content:", content)
```

**Note: If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) issues, consider reducing the context length to a shorter value, such as `32,768`.**

## Note on FP8

For convenience and performance, we have provided `fp8`-quantized model checkpoint for Qwen3, whose name ends with `-FP8`. The quantization method is fine-grained `fp8` quantization with block size of 128. You can find more details in the `quantization_config` field in `config.json`.

You can use the Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-FP8 model with serveral inference frameworks, including `transformers`, `sglang`, and `vllm`, as the original bfloat16 model.
However, please pay attention to the following known issues:
- `transformers`:
    - there are currently issues with the "fine-grained fp8" method in `transformers` for distributed inference. You may need to set the environment variable `CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1` if multiple devices are used in inference.


## Agentic Coding

Qwen3-Coder excels in tool calling capabilities. 

You can simply define or use any tools as following example.
```python
# Your tool implementation
def square_the_number(num: float) -> dict:
    return num ** 2

# Define Tools
tools=[
    {
        "type":"function",
        "function":{
            "name": "square_the_number",
            "description": "output the square of the number.",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "required": ["input_num"],
                "properties": {
                    'input_num': {
                        'type': 'number', 
                        'description': 'input_num is a number that will be squared'
                        }
                },
            }
        }
    }
]

import OpenAI
# Define LLM
client = OpenAI(
    # Use a custom endpoint compatible with OpenAI API
    base_url='http://localhost:8000/v1',  # api_base
    api_key="EMPTY"
)
 
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'square the number 1024'}]

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=messages,
    model="Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-FP8",
    max_tokens=65536,
    tools=tools,
)

print(completion.choice[0])
```

## Best Practices

To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:

1. **Sampling Parameters**:
   - We suggest using `temperature=0.7`, `top_p=0.8`, `top_k=20`, `repetition_penalty=1.05`.

2. **Adequate Output Length**: We recommend using an output length of 65,536 tokens for most queries, which is adequate for instruct models.
