This script shows the two canonical inference paths supported by the model:
* Image captioning (``--mode image``, default)
* Video captioning (``--mode video``)
Both modes share the same loading pattern:
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_dir, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
model_dir, trust_remote_code=True, dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="cuda",
)
Examples
--------
# Image (default sample image from the web)
python demo_inference.py
# Image with a local file and a custom prompt
python demo_inference.py --mode image --media /path/to/cat.jpg \
--prompt "What is the cat doing?"
# Video
# - ``--num-frames`` selects exactly N frames (uniform sampling).
# - ``--max-pixels`` caps each frame's pixel budget. Lower it to fit smaller
# GPUs; 200704 (=448*448) is a safe default for a single ~80GB card.
python demo_inference.py --mode video --media /path/to/clip.mp4 \
--num-frames 16 --max-pixels 200704 \
--prompt "Describe what happens in this video."
