Qflash

About

Qflash is a standalone, single-binary gateway that exposes the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Gradio space (https://halvo78-qwen3-8-flash-next-playground.hf.space) through an OpenAI-compatible API. It translates the standard /v1/chat/completions and /v1/models endpoints into Gradio's /gradio_api/call/chat_response request and Server-Sent Events (SSE) stream protocol, allowing any standard OpenAI-compatible client, agent, or IDE to interface with Qwen3.8-Flash-Next without modification.

Features

  • OpenAI-compatible chat completions (streaming and non-streaming)
  • Deep reasoning extraction with thinking trace passthrough (<think> tags and blockquotes mapped to reasoning_content)
  • Stateful streaming tool call interception (StreamToolCallFilter) with zero XML/JSON leakage into delta.content
  • Real-time token streaming with incremental SSE delivery
  • Support for instruct mode via standard reasoning_effort: "none"
  • Zero-dependency SOCKS5 proxy client (RFC 1928 / RFC 1929) with domain resolution (socks5h://), IPv4, IPv6, and auth
  • Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) pass-through support via Authorization: Bearer or CLI flags
  • Fibonacci backoff retry on transient upstream errors
  • Zero external dependencies (Go standard library only)

Installation

You need Go 1.22 or newer (tested on Go 1.26). Install the latest release straight from the Git repository with go install:

go install code.luxferre.top/luxferre/qflash@latest

This fetches the module from https://code.luxferre.top/luxferre/qflash.git and places the qflash binary in $(go env GOPATH)/bin. Make sure that directory is on your PATH.

(Note: If installing right after a new commit has been pushed, bypass any proxy cache with GOPROXY=direct go install code.luxferre.top/luxferre/qflash@latest).

If you prefer to build from a local checkout instead:

git clone https://code.luxferre.top/luxferre/qflash.git
cd qflash
go install .

Alternatively, build directly from source using make:

make qflash

This produces the bin/qflash binary for your platform.

Models served

The gateway advertises the following models under /v1/models:

Model ID Target model Description
Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Primary playground model (125B MoE, 6B activated)
qwen3.8-flash-next Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Standard lowercase alias
qwen-flash-next Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Shorthand alias
qwen-flash Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Quick convenience alias

Any unlisted custom model name requested by the client is passed through directly.

Usage

Run the gateway:

qflash [-port 8080] [-endpoint https://halvo78-qwen3-8-flash-next-playground.hf.space] [-model Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next]

Available flags:

  • -port — TCP port to listen on (default 8080)
  • -endpoint — root URL of the Gradio space (default https://halvo78-qwen3-8-flash-next-playground.hf.space)
  • -model — exposed model name (default Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next)
  • -thinking / -enable-thinking — enable chain-of-thought reasoning by default (default true)
  • -hf-token — optional Hugging Face API token for authenticated spaces (HF_TOKEN env)
  • -api-key — upstream inference engine API key for BYOK mode (OPENAI_API_KEY / QWEN_API_KEY env)
  • -base-url — upstream inference engine base URL for BYOK mode (OPENAI_BASE_URL / QWEN_BASE_URL env)
  • -socks / -proxy / -socks5 — SOCKS5 proxy URL, e.g. socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 (ALL_PROXY env)
  • -user-agent / -ua — custom User-Agent sent to upstream

Endpoints served:

  • GET /models and GET /v1/models
  • POST /chat/completions and POST /v1/chat/completions

Example request with curl:

curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"qwen3.8-flash-next","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Explain QSA micro-blocks in one sentence."}],"stream":false}'

Streaming example:

curl -N http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"qwen-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Count from 1 to 5."}],"stream":true}'

Instruct mode example (disables thinking):

curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"qwen-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}],"reasoning_effort":"none"}'

Python OpenAI SDK integration:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8080/v1",
    api_key="sk-dummy"
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen3.8-flash-next",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Prove that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n^2."}
    ],
    stream=True
)

for chunk in stream:
    delta = chunk.choices[0].delta
    if hasattr(delta, "reasoning_content") and delta.reasoning_content:
        print(f"[THINK] {delta.reasoning_content}", end="", flush=True)
    if delta.content:
        print(delta.content, end="", flush=True)
print()
