Libraries

How to use PrincetonPLI/Eagle-X2-Llama3-8B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="PrincetonPLI/Eagle-X2-Llama3-8B")
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("PrincetonPLI/Eagle-X2-Llama3-8B", device_map="auto")

Model Card for Eagle-X2-Llama3-8B-ConsecutiveTableReadout-Mix-160k

This model follows the adapter-based VLM structure from LLaVA and Eagle. This model uses meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct as the base LLM and CLIP-448 (based on CLIP-336) and ConvNeXt as the visual encoders.

Training Details

We trained on 595k pretraining data and 1.8M visual instruction tuning data.
