Instructions to use zenlm/zen3-omni with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use zenlm/zen3-omni with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="zenlm/zen3-omni")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("zenlm/zen3-omni")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("zenlm/zen3-omni", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
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]:]))

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "zenlm/zen3-omni",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/zenlm/zen3-omni

zen3-omni

Multimodal model supporting text, image, audio, and video understanding.

Repackaged from Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct (apache-2.0, Alibaba Qwen). Not trained from scratch — a permissively-licensed redistribution for the OSS-clean Zen model line.

Specs

Property	Value
Parameters	30B total / 3B active (MoE)
Architecture	Qwen3-Omni MoE (`Qwen3OmniMoeForConditionalGeneration`)
Modality	text, image, audio, video
Generation	Zen3

API Access

Also served via the Hanzo AI API:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.hanzo.ai/v1", api_key="YOUR_KEY")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="zen3-omni",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
