Libraries

How to use shreethar/Latent-Student-Spatial-Forcing with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="shreethar/Latent-Student-Spatial-Forcing")
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, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("shreethar/Latent-Student-Spatial-Forcing")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("shreethar/Latent-Student-Spatial-Forcing", device_map="auto")
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]:]))

Latent Student Spatial Forcing

This is the standalone Stage 4 inference package for the Latent Student. The Stage 4 LoRA adapter has been merged into shreethar/LatentStudent-ckpt-400.

Included components

Merged Qwen3.5 vision-language model weights
Processor and tokenizer
spatial_parameters.pt: five learned spatial-slot embeddings and the Stage 4 waypoint MLP
latent_student_config.json: packaging and provenance metadata
stage4_config.json: training configuration, when present in the checkpoint

VGGT and the Spatial Forcing projection head were training-only supervision components. They are not needed for waypoint inference.

Provenance

Stage 2 model: shreethar/LatentStudent-ckpt-400
Stage 4 checkpoint: stage4_partial_run_2/step_002650
Checkpoint selection: best_checkpoint.json
Checkpoint step: 002650
Loss weights: alpha=1.0, beta=3.0, gamma=0.025

Loading for waypoint inference

Use the project's LatentStudent wrapper so the spatial slots and waypoint head are restored alongside the merged VLM:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from train.stage4.checkpointing import load_latent_student_checkpoint

repo_id = "shreethar/Latent-Student-Spatial-Forcing"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id, trust_remote_code=True)
end_think_token_id = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("</think>")

student = load_latent_student_checkpoint(
    checkpoint=repo_id,
    end_think_token_id=end_think_token_id,
    trainable=False,
    M=6,
    K=5,
)
student.eval()

Loading only with AutoModelForImageTextToText restores the merged VLM but not the external spatial slots or waypoint head. Use the wrapper above for the complete Latent Student behavior.
