Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct")
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("Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct", 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]:]))

Hello,
Make sure you use the latest HF LLM DLC. Here is a code snippet that works.

!pip install sagemaker --upgrade
import json
import sagemaker
import boto3
from sagemaker.huggingface import HuggingFaceModel, get_huggingface_llm_image_uri

try:
    role = sagemaker.get_execution_role()
except ValueError:
    iam = boto3.client("iam")
    role = iam.get_role(RoleName="sagemaker_execution_role")["Role"]["Arn"]
# Hub Model configuration. https://huggingface.co/models
hub = {
    'HF_MODEL_ID':'Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct',
    'SM_NUM_GPUS': json.dumps(1),
    'CUDA_GRAPHS': json.dumps(0)
}

# create Hugging Face Model Class
huggingface_model = HuggingFaceModel(
    image_uri=get_huggingface_llm_image_uri("huggingface"),
    env=hub,
    role=role,
)

# deploy model to SageMaker Inference
predictor = huggingface_model.deploy(
    initial_instance_count=1,
    instance_type="ml.g5.2xlarge",
    container_startup_health_check_timeout=300,
)
