| r""" | |
| This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [`LlavaOnevision2Model`]. It is used to instantiate a | |
| LlavaOnevision2Model model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration | |
| with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of | |
| Llava-Onevision 1.5 [lmms-lab/LLaVA-OneVision-1.5-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/lmms-lab/LLaVA-OneVision-1.5-8B-Instruct). | |
| Configuration objects inherit from [`PreTrainedConfig`] and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the | |
| documentation from [`PreTrainedConfig`] for more information. | |

| text_config (`Union[PreTrainedConfig, dict]`, *optional*, defaults to `Qwen3Config`): | |
| The config object or dictionary of the text backbone. | |

| The config object or dictionary of the vision backbone. | |
| image_token_id (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 151655): | |
| The image token index to encode the image prompt. | |

| The video token index to encode the image prompt. | |
