• Finetuned from model : unsloth/Qwen3-4B

This qwen3 model was trained 2x faster with Unsloth and Huggingface's TRL library.

Finetune with unsloth and torchao

Below we show how to finetune Qwen3-4B using unsloth in a way that can be deployed with ExecuTorch. The example is based on the notebook here.

Export to ExecuTorch

After we've finetuned our model, we need to export it to an ExecuTorch *.pte file.

# 1. Install ExecuTorch
pip install executorch pytorch_tokenizers torchtune

# 2. Download finetuned weights we uploaded to HuggingFace (or use local directory we saved to)
HF_DIR=metascroy/Qwen3-4B-int8-int4-unsloth-v3
WEIGHT_DIR=$(hf download ${HF_DIR})

# 3. Convert the weight checkpoint state dict keys to one that ExecuTorch expects
python -m executorch.examples.models.qwen3.convert_weights $WEIGHT_DIR pytorch_model_converted.bin

# 4. Download model config from ExecuTorch repo
curl -L -o 4b_config.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pytorch/executorch/main/examples/models/qwen3/config/4b_config.json

# 5. Export to ExecuTorch pte file
python -m executorch.examples.models.llama.export_llama \
  --model "qwen3_4b" \
  --checkpoint pytorch_model_converted.bin \
  --params 4b_config.json \
  --output_name qwen3_model.pte \
  -kv \
  --use_sdpa_with_kv_cache \
  -X \
  --xnnpack-extended-ops \
  --max_context_length 1024 \
  --max_seq_length 128 \
  --dtype fp32 \
  --metadata '{"get_bos_id":199999, "get_eos_ids":[200020,199999]}'

# 6. (optional) Upload pte file to HuggingFace
hf upload ${HF_DIR} qwen3_model.pte

Run on mobile device

Once we have qwen3_model.pte and the tokenizer.json, we can run on a mobile device! To run on iOS, follow the instructions here. Below is a screenshot of the model in action:
