qwen3-coder-30b-a3b-vllm-cpp
Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B on vllm.cpp: a coding and agentic-tool-use model, 30B
total parameters with about 3B active per token, gated token-exact against
vLLM on this engine.
The tool-call parser is named explicitly rather than auto-detected, and that
matters here. Qwen3-Coder's tool dialect is byte-identical on the wire to
another family's, so template sniffing cannot separate the two and would fall
back to the wrong parser. With qwen3_coder named, tool calls arrive as real
tool_calls on the OpenAI response.
This is the bf16 checkpoint, roughly 57 GB of weights, which is what the
engine was gated on. Being bf16 rather than NVFP4 it does not need Blackwell
on its own account, but LocalAI's CUDA images for this backend are currently
built for Blackwell-family GPUs only, so on an older card use the CPU build.
