# Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct · RKLLM

Text and image chat on Rockchip RK3576 and RK3588, converted from [Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct).

* Max context length: 8192

- **Conversion toolkit:** RKLLM Toolkit 1.3.1 and RKNN Toolkit2 2.3.2.
- **Inputs / output:** text and one image → text. Video and audio input are unavailable in this runtime.
- **License:** Apache 2.0; see the [original model](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct) and [license](LICENSE).

## Choose your files

Use files for your board's exact SoC. RK3576 offers compact W4A16-g128 and W8A8; RK3588 uses W8A8. Download size is not runtime RAM.

| Board | Quantization | Size | Language model |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RK3576 | W4A16-g128 | 3.16 GiB | [Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm](v1.3.1/RK3576/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm) |
| RK3576 | w8a8 | 4.62 GiB | [Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3576_w8a8.rkllm](v1.3.1/RK3576/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3576_w8a8.rkllm) |
| RK3588 | w8a8 | 4.52 GiB | [Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3588_w8a8.rkllm](v1.3.1/RK3588/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3588_w8a8.rkllm) |

Every language model requires its board's matching vision encoder below. Both RK3576 language variants share the RK3576 encoder.

| Board | Size | Vision encoder |
| --- | --- | --- |
| RK3576 | 0.83 GiB | [Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_vision_RK3576.rknn](v1.3.1/RK3576/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_vision_RK3576.rknn) |
| RK3588 | 0.81 GiB | [Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_vision_RK3588.rknn](v1.3.1/RK3588/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_vision_RK3588.rknn) |

## Run on your board

Download the RK3576 W4A16-g128 language model and matching encoder:

```bash
hf download HanzoHuang/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct-RKLLM \
  v1.3.1/RK3576/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm \
  v1.3.1/RK3576/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_vision_RK3576.rknn \
  --local-dir ./models
sudo docker run --rm -it --pull=always --privileged \
  -p 8001:8001 -v /dev:/dev \
  -v "$PWD/models/v1.3.1/RK3576:/app/models:ro" \
  -e MODEL_KIND=vlm -e TARGET_PLATFORM=rk3576 -e RKLLM_EMBED_FLASH=1 \
  -e MODEL_FILE=Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm \
  -e VISION_MODEL_FILE=Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct_vision_RK3576.rknn \
  ghcr.io/hanzo-huang/rkllm-docker:env-latest \
  serve --max_context_len 4096
```

For RK3588, download both RK3588 files, mount that directory, set `TARGET_PLATFORM=rk3588`, and select its W8A8 language filename. Use the [runtime documentation](https://github.com/Hanzo-Huang/rkllm-docker) for health checks and OpenAI-compatible image requests.

## Release notes

- Source acquired from ModelScope `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct`, pinned revision `0196dc7bb23f3c742616147c3254d0e4f1207787`. The HF link above identifies the canonical upstream model; no equivalence to an HF Git commit is assumed.
- Export context: **8192 tokens**. Functional API tests used **4096**; the speed/memory benchmark used **2048**. Longer runtime context has not been validated on these boards.
- Fixed vision input: RGB, 448 × 448, batch 1, 196 image tokens, mean/std 0.5. The runtime pads to a square using RGB 127, then resizes bilinearly. Vision output order is pooler followed by three deepstack features for each token.
- Language calibration: the SDK's 20 image-and-text examples, captured using the source processor and language-model input hook. W4A16-g128 uses GRQ; W8A8 uses normal quantization. Float32 CUDA loading; two NPU cores on RK3576 and three on RK3588.
- Export compatibility fixes select the four language-width vision outputs under Transformers 5 and import only the requested calibration model family. Generated upstream examples and source checkpoint weights are unchanged.
- All three variants passed seven API smoke checks on their target board: arithmetic, independent requests, SSE, exact conversation recall, image description, image color over SSE, and text after an image. Tests used the baked RKLLM 1.3.1 runtime application with `embed_flash=1`.
- RK3576 vision encoder cosine against original float32 embeddings: 0.99534508.
- RK3588 vision encoder cosine against original float32 embeddings: 0.99543323.

These are functional and numerical smoke checks, not a broad quality benchmark. Quantization and fixed image resolution may reduce accuracy.

Measured on the target boards:

| Board | Quantization | Decode tok/s | Startup RAM (GB) | Stable RAM (GB) | Date |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| RK3576 | w4a16-g128 | 5.51 | 4.01 | 4.01 | 2026-10-23 |
| RK3576 | w8a8 | 4.11 | 5.83 | 5.83 | 2026-10-23 |
| RK3588 | w8a8 | 6.58 | 5.58 | 5.62 | 2026-10-22 |

Speed is the median native decode rate over three 128-token runs after a 32-token warmup, greedy decoding, EOS ignored, context 2048. RAM is additional board usage above a five-second idle baseline: sampled loading peak and ten-second ready-state median, in decimal GB. The matched encoder is loaded; `embed_flash=1`. First-token timing stays in the private report. Measurements depend on the board, clocks, cooling, and background load.

RK3576 measurements temporarily disabled zram swap and restored it after each run; both had zero swap growth. RK3588 retained its normal swap configuration.
