Libraries

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6")
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("openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6")
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]:]))

 | `max_slice_nums` | `9` | Image & Video | Maximum number of slices when splitting a high-resolution image. Higher values preserve more detail for large images. Recommended: `36` for image, `1` for video. |
-| `max_num_frames` | `128` | Video only | Maximum number of main frames sampled from the video. |
 | `stack_frames` | `1` | Video only | Total sample points per second. `1` = main frame only (no stacking). `N` (N>1) = 1 main frame + N−1 sub-frames per second; the sub-frames are composited into a grid image and interleaved with main frames. Recommended setting is `1` for short videos, and `3` or `5` for long videos. |
 | `use_image_id` | `True` | Image & Video | Whether to prepend `<image_id>N</image_id>` tags before each image/frame placeholder. Set `True` for image, `False` for video. |
