- `--max-num-batched-tokens=<large value>` **(default: 2048)** – This flag controls the token scheduling budget per decoding step and is irrelevant to encoder-only instances. **Set it to a very high value (effectively unlimited) to bypass scheduler limitations.** The actual token budget is managed by the encoder cache manager.

+- `--convert "mm_encoder_only"` **(Optional)** - The language model is skipped during initialization to reduce device memory usage. **Models using this option must implement the `get_language_model_spec` interface.**
