Libraries

How to use Skywork/Skywork-R1V2-38B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Skywork/Skywork-R1V2-38B", 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 AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Skywork/Skywork-R1V2-38B", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

Add image-text-to-text pipeline tag

Browse files

This PR adds the `image-text-to-text` pipeline tag to the model card metadata. This will improve discoverability of the model on the Hugging Face model hub. The model processes both image and text inputs to generate text outputs, making this tag appropriate.
