Description

Encountered error when converting unsloth/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct into OpenVINO IR with Optimum Intel.

Asked to export a qwen2-5-vl model for the task text-generation-with-past, but the Optimum OpenVINO exporter only supports the tasks image-text-to-text, video-text-to-text for qwen2-5-vl.

Resolution

  • Create a direct PyTorch*-to-OpenVINO conversion solution for Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct to bypass current Optimum Intel* limitations.
  • Use ov.convert_model() with transformers.AutoModel to convert model into OpenVINO IR format.
