Highlights
We introduce the updated version of the Qwen3-4B non-thinking mode, named Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507, featuring the following key enhancements:

Model Overview
Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 has the following features:
NOTE: This model supports only non-thinking mode and does not generate
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, GitHub, and Documentation.

*: For reproducibility, we report the win rates evaluated by GPT-4.1.
Quickstart
The code of Qwen3 has been in the latest Hugging Face
transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.With
transformers<4.51.0, you will encounter the following error:
KeyError: 'qwen3'
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/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507"
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 = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
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=16384
)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist()
content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print("content:", content)
For deployment, you can use
sglang>=0.4.6.post1 or vllm>=0.8.5 or to create an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint:
shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 --context-length 262144
shell
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 --max-model-len 262144
Note: If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) issues, consider reducing the context length to a shorter value, such as
32,768.For local use, applications such as Ollama, LMStudio, MLX-LM, llama.cpp, and KTransformers have also supported Qwen3.
Agentic Use
Qwen3 excels in tool calling capabilities. We recommend using Qwen-Agent to make the best use of agentic ability of Qwen3. Qwen-Agent encapsulates tool-calling templates and tool-calling parsers internally, greatly reducing coding complexity.
To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.
python
from qwen_agent.agents import Assistant
Define LLM
llm_cfg = {
'model': 'Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507',
Use a custom endpoint compatible with OpenAI API:
'model_server': 'http://localhost:8000/v1', api_base
'api_key': 'EMPTY',
}
Define Tools
tools = [
{'mcpServers': { You can specify the MCP configuration file
'time': {
'command': 'uvx',
'args': ['mcp-server-time', '--local-timezone=Asia/Shanghai']
},
"fetch": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-fetch"]
}
}
},
'code_interpreter', Built-in tools
]
Define Agent
bot = Assistant(llm=llm_cfg, function_list=tools)
Streaming generation
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/ Introduce the latest developments of Qwen'}]
for responses in bot.run(messages=messages):
pass
print(responses)
Best Practices
To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:
1. Sampling Parameters:
Temperature=0.7, TopP=0.8, TopK=20, and MinP=0.presence_penalty parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetitions. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.2. Adequate Output Length: We recommend using an output length of 16,384 tokens for most queries, which is adequate for instruct models.
3. Standardize Output Format: We recommend using prompts to standardize model outputs when benchmarking.
