When does this happen?

IF When using Qwen2VL with flash-attention2 for vision and eager attention for the text module, the model generates repetitive, meaningless text.

How others solved it

THEN Ensure that both vision and text modules of Qwen2VL use the same attention implementation. Currently, setting different attentions per module is not straightforward; use the same setting for both. For example, set use_flash_attention_2=True in model_args or set attn_implementation consistently.

# Use consistent attention implementation for both vision and text
model = Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct",
    torch_dtype="bfloat16",
    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"  # Same for both modules
)
