Libraries

How to use microsoft/Florence-2-base with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="microsoft/Florence-2-base", trust_remote_code=True)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-base", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-base", trust_remote_code=True)
