Description

Motivation.

The Qwen3-Omni and Qwen2.5-Omni thinker implementations contain a significant amount of duplicate code with the main vLLM repository, which hinders maintenance. It is recommended to refactor them and directly call the main vLLM repository code.

Proposed Change.

Please provide the detailed design document of the RFC using the template.
