Introduction
Qwen2.5-Omni-7B is an advanced multimodal model developed by Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen team.
This model is part of the Qwen2.5 series and it can handle diverse modalities, including text, images, audio, and video, enabling seamless integration and understanding across different data types.
The model introduces a novel Thinker-Talker architecture, where the “Thinker” processes and understands multimodal inputs, and the “Talker” generates corresponding text and natural speech outputs.
This design facilitates real-time interactions, making it suitable for applications like voice assistants and interactive agents.
Defining Dependencies
We are using the transformers to serve the model on a single A100 (80GB).
Constructing the GitHub/GitLab Template
Now quickly construct the GitHub/GitLab template, this process is mandatory and make sure you don’t add any file named model.py.
qwen2.5-omni-7b/
├── app.py
├── inferless-runtime-config.yaml
└── input_schema.py
You can also add other files to this directory.
Create the class for inference
In the app.py we will define the class and import all the required functions
-
def initialize: In this function, you will initialize your model and define any variable that you want to use during inference.
-
def infer: This function gets called for every request that you send. Here you can define all the steps that are required for the inference.
-
def finalize: This function cleans up all the allocated memory.

Creating the Custom Runtime
This is a mandatory step where we allow the users to upload their custom runtime through inferless-runtime-config.yaml.
build:
cuda_version: "12.1.1"
system_packages:
- "ffmpeg"
python_packages:
- "accelerate==1.6.0"
- "decord==0.6.0"
- "qwen-omni-utils==0.0.4"
- "torchvision==0.22.0"
- "inferless==0.2.13"
- "pydantic==2.10.2"
- "git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@397a5ede33863d6f7137c771a68d40036cac0396"
Test your model with Remote Run
You can use the inferless remote-run(installation guide here) command to test your model or any custom Python script in a remote GPU environment directly from your local machine. Make sure that you use Python3.10 for seamless experience.
Step 1: Add the Decorators and local entry point
To enable Remote Run, simply do the following:
- Import the
inferless library and initialize Cls(gpu="A100"). The available GPU options are T4, A10 and A100.
- Decorated the
initialize and infer functions with @app.load and @app.infer respectively.
- Create the Local Entry Point by decorating a function (for example,
my_local_entry) with @inferless.local_entry_point.
Within this function, instantiate your model class, convert any incoming parameters into a RequestObjects object, and invoke the model’s infer method.

Step 2: Run with Remote GPU
From your local terminal, navigate to the folder containing your app.py and your inferless-runtime-config.yaml and run:
inferless remote-run app.py -c inferless-runtime-config.yaml --prompt "Explain everything in the image." --system_prompt "You are Qwen, a virtual human developed by the Qwen Team, Alibaba Group, capable of perceiving auditory and visual inputs, as well as generating text and speech." --image_url "https://github.com/rbgo404/Files/raw/main/dog.jpg"
You can pass the other input parameters in the same way (e.g., --system_prompt, --video_url, etc.) as long as your code expects them in the inputs dictionary.
If you want to exclude certain files or directories from being uploaded, use the --exclude or -e flag.
Inferless supports multiple ways of importing your model. For this tutorial, we will use GitHub.
Navigate to your desired workspace in Inferless and Click on Add a custom model button that you see on the top right. An import wizard will open up.
Step 2: Follow the UI to complete the model Import
- Select the GitHub/GitLab Integration option to connect your source code repository with the deployment environment.
- Navigate to the specific GitHub repository that contains your model’s code. Here, you will need to identify and enter the name of the model you wish to import.
- Choose the appropriate type of machine that suits your model’s requirements. Additionally, specify the minimum and maximum number of replicas to define the scalability range for deploying your model.
- Optionally, you have the option to enable automatic build and deployment. This feature triggers a new deployment automatically whenever there is a new code push to your repository.
- If your model requires additional software packages, configure the Custom Runtime settings by including necessary pip or apt packages. Also, set up environment variables such as Inference Timeout, Container Concurrency, and Scale Down Timeout to tailor the runtime environment according to your needs.
- Wait for the validation process to complete, ensuring that all settings are correct and functional. Once validation is successful, click on the “Import” button to finalize the import of your model.
Step 3: Wait for the model build to complete usually takes ~5-10 minutes
Step 4: Use the APIs to call the model
Once the model is in ‘Active’ status you can click on the ‘API’ page to call the model
Here is the Demo:
Method B: Deploying the model on Inferless CLI
Inferless allows you to deploy your model using Inferless-CLI. Follow the steps to deploy using Inferless CLI.
Clone the repository of the model
Let’s begin by cloning the model repository:
git clone https://github.com/inferless/qwen2.5-omni-7b.git
Deploy the Model
To deploy the model using Inferless CLI, execute the following command:
inferless deploy --gpu A100 --runtime inferless-runtime-config.yaml
Explanation of the Command:
--gpu A100: Specifies the GPU type for deployment. Available options include A10, A100, and T4.--runtime inferless-runtime-config.yaml: Defines the runtime configuration file. If not specified, the default Inferless runtime is used.
