How to use Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Title: Fix partial assistant prefills when continue_final_message=True

Summary:
The current chat_template.jinja always appends <|im_end|> after assistant turns.
When callers disable add_generation_prompt and use a final assistant message as a prefill, this closes the assistant message before generation starts, so the model tends to emit an empty continuation or start a new turn incorrectly.

This patch makes the final assistant turn honor Hugging Face's continue_final_message contract by skipping the closing <|im_end|> only when:

the current message is the last message
continue_final_message is defined
continue_final_message is true

All other rendering paths are unchanged.

Minimal repro:

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Reply in JSON."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": '{"name": "'},
]

tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=False,
    continue_final_message=True,
)

Before:

<|im_start|>user
Reply in JSON.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
{"name": "<|im_end|>

After:

<|im_start|>user
Reply in JSON.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
{"name": "
