Libraries

How to use AI4SGI/ExoMind-9B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="AI4SGI/ExoMind-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("AI4SGI/ExoMind-9B")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("AI4SGI/ExoMind-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]:]))

ExoMind Research Content and Brand Terms

Unless a specific item states otherwise, these terms apply to Paper.pdf, the paper's substantive content, the research and evaluation content in README.md, CITATION.cff, and docs/ (including docs/benchmark-data.js and docs/performance-data.js), the ExoMind name and logo, and ExoMind visual brand assets.

Linking and citation

No separate permission from the ExoMind rights holders is required to link to the official project page or official technical report, provide the paper title and bibliographic citation, or discuss and cite ExoMind without reproducing reserved material beyond what applicable law permits.

Limited noncommercial promotional permission

Subject to the conditions below, the applicable rights holders grant permission to reproduce the following materials solely for noncommercial communication or promotion specifically about ExoMind:

the paper abstract or a faithful translation of it;
brief attributed excerpts from the report or official ExoMind announcements; and
an unmodified ExoMind logo or official ExoMind figure.

These uses must:

clearly identify the source as ExoMind Team, Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory;
include a link to the official project page or technical report when the format permits;
preserve the original meaning and presentation, apart from proportionate resizing or layout-neutral cropping; and
not imply endorsement, affiliation, authorship, or sponsorship.

The materials may not be sold, used in merchandise or paid advertising, or redistributed as a standalone asset or dataset collection. "Noncommercial" means not primarily intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation.

This permission applies only to rights controlled by the applicable rights holders. It does not grant rights in third-party names, logos, or materials that may appear in an ExoMind figure or webpage.

Uses requiring prior written permission

Without prior written permission from the applicable rights holders, you may not:

host, mirror, or redistribute the complete technical-report PDF instead of linking to the official copy;
publish or distribute a translation, adaptation, or other derivative version of the technical report;
reproduce substantial portions of the paper's text, tables, figures, or other content in another manuscript or submission beyond properly attributed uses permitted by applicable law;
use ExoMind research content or brand assets to market an unrelated project, imply endorsement, or for other commercial purposes.

No permission in these terms authorizes a recipient to submit the technical report, a modified version, or substantially copied content as another work or under false or incomplete authorship; claim authorship of ExoMind; or remove its attribution.

Independent research and applicable law

These terms do not restrict linking, proper citation, independent implementation, independently written follow-on research, or any use permitted by applicable law, including fair use or fair dealing. They do not transfer authorship or waive academic-integrity obligations. Customary news reporting and quotation remain governed by applicable law.

For permissions beyond the scope above, contact the ExoMind Team through the official project repository.
