# Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct

> Use NeMo AutoModel to fine-tune Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct for VLM workflows with checked-in image-text-to-text recipes and documented distributed settings.

[Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct) has a checked-in NeMo AutoModel recipe for image-text-to-text.
The Hugging Face configuration declares the `Qwen3VLMoeForConditionalGeneration` architecture.

## Fine-Tune Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct

Follow the [installation instructions](/get-started/installation), then run the recipe from the repository root:

```bash
automodel examples/vlm_finetune/qwen3/qwen3_vl_moe_30b_te_deepep.yaml --nproc-per-node 8
```
