QWEN 3 and Oobabooga v3.2 ? Does Transformers need updating ?

[Tum1370]

I Just tried installing the latest oobabooga v3.2
Then downloaded Qwen 3 8B.
But when testing it, it said Transformers needs updating ? IS this the same for everyone ? Do we have to update Transformers to use Qwen 3 on Oobabooga ?

This is the error message i see when using oobabooga v3.2 and trying to load qwen 3 8B.

ValueError: The checkpoint you are trying to load has model type qwen3 but Transformers does not recognize this architecture. This could be because of an issue with the checkpoint, or because your version of Transformers is out of date.

You can update Transformers with the command pip install --upgrade transformers. If this does not work, and the checkpoint is very new, then there may not be a release version that supports this model yet. In this case, you can get the most up-to-date code by installing Transformers from source with the command pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
