Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov

• Model creator: Qwen
• Original model: Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507

Description

This is Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 model converted to the OpenVINO™ IR (Intermediate Representation) format with weights compressed to INT4 by NNCF.

Quantization Parameters

The quantization was performed using optimum-cli export openvino with the following parameters:

• mode: INT4_ASYM
• group_size: 128

For more information on quantization, check the OpenVINO model optimization guide.

Compatibility

The provided OpenVINO™ IR model is compatible with:

• OpenVINO version 2026.0.0 and higher
• Optimum Intel 1.27.0 and higher

Running Model Inference with Optimum Intel

1. Install packages required for using Optimum Intel integration with the OpenVINO backend:

pip install optimum[openvino]

2. Run model inference:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from optimum.intel.openvino import OVModelForCausalLM

model_id = "OpenVINO/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

inputs = tokenizer("What is OpenVINO?", return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs)[0]
print(text)

For more examples and possible optimizations, refer to the Inference with Optimum Intel.

Running Model Inference with OpenVINO GenAI

1. Install packages required for using OpenVINO GenAI.

pip install openvino-genai huggingface_hub

2. Download model from HuggingFace Hub

import huggingface_hub as hf_hub

model_id = "OpenVINO/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov"
model_path = "Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov"

hf_hub.snapshot_download(model_id, local_dir=model_path)

3. Run model inference:

import openvino_genai as ov_genai

device = "CPU"
pipe = ov_genai.LLMPipeline(model_path, device)
print(pipe.generate("What is OpenVINO?", max_length=200))

More GenAI usage examples can be found in OpenVINO GenAI library docs and samples

You can find more detaild usage examples in OpenVINO Notebooks:

• LLM
• RAG text generation

Running Model with OpenAI client and OpenVINO Model Server

1a. Deploy model on Windows using binary package:

ovms.exe --rest_port 8000 --source_model OpenVINO/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov --model_repository_path models --tool_parser hermes3 --target_device GPU --task text_generation

1b. Deploy model in a Docker container:

docker run -d --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --rm -p 8000:8000 -v $(pwd)/models:/models --device /dev/dri --group-add=$(stat -c "%g" /dev/dri/render* | head -n 1) openvino/model_server:latest-gpu \
--rest_port 8000 --model_repository_path /models --source_model OpenVINO/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov --tool_parser hermes3 --target_device GPU --task text_generation

2. Install the client library:

pip install openai

3. Run the client:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
  base_url="http://localhost:8000/v3",
  api_key="unused"
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="OpenVINO/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-int4-ov",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello."}],
    stream=True,
    tools=[],
)
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices[0].delta.content is not None:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="")

Also check how to use this model in an agentic flow with function calling, as shown in the agentic demo.
