Libraries

How to use inclusionAI/UI-Venus-2-9B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="inclusionAI/UI-Venus-2-9B")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("inclusionAI/UI-Venus-2-9B")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("inclusionAI/UI-Venus-2-9B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

I've been using this assistant quite a lot lately and wanted to share some thoughts: it does internet searches really well, analyzes quickly and thoroughly, is lightweight with cheap context usage, fast, and handles Polish without any problem. It draws good conclusions from discussions, though sometimes goes too deep and gets stuck in cycles searching for answers.

Agreed! I recommend installing the Chrome extension to better experience the model's browser performance.

It is indeed true that there is a problem of getting stuck in a loop, especially when the search target does not exist. The model needs to have the ability to determine that a task cannot be completed and the ability to break out of the loop. We are trying to solve these problems.
