            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("DavidAU/Qwen3.6-40B-Finetune-Z1-Thinking")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("DavidAU/Qwen3.6-40B-Finetune-Z1-Thinking")
