Instructions to use ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B", trust_remote_code=True)
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 AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": [
					{
						"type": "text",
						"text": "Describe this image in one sentence."
					},
					{
						"type": "image_url",
						"image_url": {
							"url": "https://cdn.britannica.com/61/93061-050-99147DCE/Statue-of-Liberty-Island-New-York-Bay.jpg"
						}
					}
				]
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B

SGLang

How to use ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang
# Start the SGLang server:
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path "ATH-MaaS/Ovis2-8B" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):

 ## Introduction
-[GitHub](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Ovis) | [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.20797)
 We are pleased to announce the release of **Ovis2**, our latest advancement in multi-modal large language models (MLLMs). Ovis2 inherits the innovative architectural design of the Ovis series, aimed at structurally aligning visual and textual embeddings. As the successor to Ovis1.6, Ovis2 incorporates significant improvements in both dataset curation and training methodologies.
