How to use RedHatAI/Molmo2-8B with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="RedHatAI/Molmo2-8B", 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 AutoModelForImageTextToText
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/Molmo2-8B", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto") - Notebooks
