These skills can be used with popular agentic AI coding assistants like **Cursor IDE**, **Claude**, **Codex**, and more.
 - [2026/02] We released [0.16.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.16.0) - A major alignment + capability release that rebases onto **upstream vLLM v0.16.0** and significantly expands performance, distributed execution, and production readiness across **Qwen3-Omni / Qwen3-TTS**, **Bagel**, **MiMo-Audio**, **GLM-Image** and the **Diffusion (DiT) image/video stack**—while also improving platform coverage (CUDA / ROCm / NPU / XPU), CI quality, and documentation.
 - [2026/02] We released [0.14.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.14.0) - This is the first **stable release** of vLLM-Omni that expands Omni’s diffusion / image-video generation and audio / TTS stack, improves distributed execution and memory efficiency, and broadens platform/backend coverage (GPU/ROCm/NPU/XPU). It also brings meaningful upgrades to serving APIs, profiling & benchmarking, and overall stability. Please check our latest [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.02204) for architecture design and performance results.
- [2026/01] We released [0.12.0rc1](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.12.0rc1) - a major RC milestone focused on maturing the diffusion stack, strengthening OpenAI-compatible serving, expanding omni-model coverage, and improving stability across platforms (GPU/NPU/ROCm).
 - [2025/11] vLLM community officially released [vllm-project/vllm-omni](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni) in order to support omni-modality models serving.

+### Persistent HF config (optional)
+The engine auto-patches a missing `model_type` in the checkpoint's `config.json` in-memory at startup (see `vllm_omni/engine/arg_utils.py`), so no manual setup is required.
+
+If you'd rather maintain a persistent patched config dir (e.g. to share across runs or to add fields the auto-patcher doesn't set), export `VLLM_OMNI_VOXCPM_HF_CONFIG_PATH` to its location — both the bundled deploy and async-chunk yamls read it via `${oc.env:VLLM_OMNI_VOXCPM_HF_CONFIG_PATH,}`.
+
 ### Notes
- `voxcpm.yaml` is the default non-streaming stage config; `voxcpm_async_chunk.yaml` enables streaming.
+- Non-streaming auto-loads `vllm_omni/deploy/voxcpm.yaml` from the model directory name / HF `model_type`. Streaming uses the legacy `voxcpm_async_chunk.yaml` passed via `--stage-configs-path`.
 - Streaming is currently single-request oriented.
 - `--ref-text` must be the real transcript of `--ref-audio`; mismatched text degrades quality.
 - For online serving, see the [VoxCPM section in the online hub](../../online_serving/text_to_speech/README.md#voxcpm). For benchmark reporting, see [`benchmarks/voxcpm`](../../../benchmarks/voxcpm/README.md).

+"""Multi-image input regression for HunyuanImage3 IT2I prompt construction.
+
+The official HunyuanImage-3.0-Instruct supports up to 3 reference images
+per IT2I request ("Multi-Image Fusion"; see hunyuan3.0_ins/README.md
+section 200-216 + line 500). Each cond image becomes its own user-role
+message and `apply_general_template` concatenates successive user
+messages back-to-back inside ONE user_prefix/user_suffix wrap (see
+hunyuan3.0_ins/tokenization_hunyuan_image_3.py:1399-1400, 1499-1515).
+The lightweight `<img>` + `multi_modal_data` builder used by the example
+flow must match that contract: N consecutive `<img>` placeholders sit
+between `User: ` and the user prompt, with no separator between them.
+
+This file pins:
+  1. N consecutive `<img>` placeholders for N=1/2/3 across both the
+     string builder (`build_prompt`) and the token builder
+     (`build_prompt_tokens`).
+  2. The N=1 path stays bit-identical to the legacy single-image builder
+     (regression guard so default callers don't notice).
+  3. N=2 / N=3 token sequences differ from N=1 by exactly (N-1) extra
+     `<img>` ids inserted between `User: ` and `user_prompt`.
+  4. Validation: N<1 and N>3 raise ValueError (hard cap N<=3 mirrors
+     official upstream).
+  5. Text-only tasks ignore `num_images` (no validation, no extra ids).

+module provides that builder; the (task, bot_task) -> template mapping
+below is the canonical mapping for both flows.
+
+Two orthogonal axes:
+
+  * `task` selects the I/O modality combination, which only controls
+    whether `<img>` placeholders are emitted between `User: ` and the
+    user prompt: ``i2t`` / ``it2i`` produce them, ``t2t`` / ``t2i`` do
+    not.
+
+  * `bot_task` selects the prompting mode and drives both the system
+    prompt and the trigger tag appended after ``Assistant: ``. ``None``
+    (default) gives a plain Assistant turn under the unified prompt;
+    ``think`` / ``recaption`` switch the trigger tag to ``<think>`` /
+    ``<recaption>``; ``think_recaption`` swaps the system prompt for
+    the dedicated combined-mode template; ``vanilla`` drops the chat
+    structure entirely (pretrain template, ``t2i`` only).
