fix(mlx-vlm): install torch dependencies on Metal - #11164
Merged
Conversation
Some Transformers processors used by MLX-VLM, including Qwen vision models, import both PyTorch and Torchvision. Include them in the Metal backend environment so model loading does not fail with missing-library errors. Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

What
Add
torchandtorchvisionto the MLX-VLM Metal requirements. Some Transformers processors used by Qwen vision models import both libraries, but the pinned MLX-VLM base dependencies do not install them, causing model loading to fail.Fixes #9810.
Testing
masterbecausetorchis absent.torchandtorchvisionentries.git diff --check.A full Metal backend build was not run because this cron host is Linux.
