+### Multimodal Validation Notes
+
+Qwen2.5-Omni is a multimodal model supporting vision, audio, and text. The NeuronX port validates the text backbone only. `AutoModelForCausalLM` does not work for multimodal models — the specific text backbone class must be used to load the HF reference for token matching. Some multimodal configs may be missing attributes expected by the text backbone (e.g., `output_attentions`) and require config patching. With the correct text backbone extraction, the model achieves 100% token match.
