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

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("nlpguy/Qwen3.8-27B-Kimiko-2")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("nlpguy/Qwen3.8-27B-Kimiko-2", device_map="auto")
