Model Support

Qwen3 / Qwen-3.5 / Qwen3.6

Supported on main with the Megatron backend. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next has its own page. Dense models also work with FSDP, and Qwen3 and Qwen-3.5 Dense work with JAX.

Example scripts

Scripts are in examples/train/megatron/ unless linked otherwise. Prepare the data first:

uv run examples/train/gsm8k/gsm8k_dataset.py --output_dir $HOME/data/gsm8k
bash examples/train/algorithms/dapo/prepare_dapo_data.sh

Qwen3.6

The INT4 script uses the same setup as Kimi K2.7: vLLM serves INT4 (W4A16), and the trainer fake-quantizes its BF16 experts onto the same INT4 grid, with TIS correcting what's left of the mismatch. QAT_MODE=off disables fake-quant and TIS, as a baseline.

Notes

  • Qwen-3.5/3.6 on Blackwell: set FLA_TILELANG=0 (fla's TileLang GDN backend aborts in the packed backward). Leave it unset on Hopper, where Triton's GDN backward is broken.
  • Qwen-3.5 VL trains the vision tower and supports sequence packing and context parallelism. Set language_model_only=true to train text-only.
  • Qwen3-235B-A22B: max TP is 4 (it has 4 KV groups).
