Can't use local model (Solved)

[kabayan]

System Info

With v4.57.2,

Who can help?

I can't use local saved model(Qwen3-vl-2b).

File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/transformers/tokenization_utils_base.py", line 2419, in _from_pretrained
if _is_local and _config.model_type not in [
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'model_type'

So I changed below and works.
if _is_local and _config.get("model_type") not in [

Information

• The official example scripts
• My own modified scripts

Tasks

• An officially supported task in the examples folder (such as GLUE/SQuAD, ...)
• My own task or dataset (give details below)

Reproduction

1. Load any model by any style (hf download, git etc)
2. Use AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(download_folder)
3. Error!

Expected behavior

Just code is wrong.

Hit the same issue. Bug introduced here https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/42299/files#diff-85b29486a884f445b1014a26fecfb189141f2e6b09f4ae701ee758a754fddcc1R2471 in v4.57.2.

Fix:

-    if _is_local and _config.model_type not in [
+    if _is_local and _config['model_type'] not in [

For those who cannot wait. Changing transformers_version" in config.jsonto"4.57.2"` can also solve this issue, but there may be some risk depending on the model/tokenizer you are using.

This doesn't work for me when I'm using vllm(version 0.10.0) and I don't know why. Will this bug be fixed soon?
