Libraries

How to use gogoduan/CodePlot-CoT with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="gogoduan/CodePlot-CoT")
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, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("gogoduan/CodePlot-CoT")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("gogoduan/CodePlot-CoT")
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]:]))

+# CodePlot-CoT: Mathematical Visual Reasoning by Thinking with Code-Driven Images

+This repository contains the **CodePlot-CoT** model, a core component of the paper [CodePlot-CoT: Mathematical Visual Reasoning by Thinking with Code-Driven Images](https://huggingface.co/papers/2510.11718).
+CodePlot-CoT is an innovative code-driven Chain-of-Thought (CoT) paradigm designed to enable Vision Language Models (VLMs) to "think with images" when solving mathematical problems. Instead of generating pixel-based images directly, the model outputs executable plotting code to represent its "visual thoughts". This code is then executed to render a precise figure, which is reinput to the model as a visual input for subsequent reasoning steps.
+The model is built upon the Qwen2.5-VL architecture and is compatible with the `transformers` library.

+## Sample Usage
+### Installation
+To get started with CodePlot-CoT, clone the repository and install the required packages:
+```bash
+conda create -n codeplot python==3.10
+conda activate codeplot
+git clone git@github.com:HKU-MMLab/Math-VR-CodePlot-CoT.git
+cd CodePlot-CoT
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install flash_attn==2.7.4.post1
+```
+For benchmark evaluation only (additional dependencies):
+```bash
+pip install openai==4.1.1
+pip install datasets==2.0.0
+```
+### Model Weights
+Ensure your directory structure for the models looks like this:
+```
+CodePlot-CoT
+├── ckpts
+│   ├── CodePlot-CoT
+│   ├── MatPlotCode
+├── ...
+```
+### Inference
+You can perform inference using the provided scripts:
+```python
+# Convert image to python code with MatPlotCode
+python image_to_code.py
+# Solve math problems with CodePlot-CoT
+python math_infer.py
+```
+For more details on evaluation and benchmarks, please refer to the [project homepage](https://math-vr.github.io) and the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/HKU-MMLab/Math-VR-CodePlot-CoT).
