Libraries

How to use zai-org/GLM-4.6V-FP8 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="zai-org/GLM-4.6V-FP8")
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("zai-org/GLM-4.6V-FP8")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.6V-FP8")
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]:]))

The tokenizer you are loading from '/vllm-models/GLM46V-FP8/' with an incorrect regex pattern: https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503/discussions/84#69121093e8b480e709447d5e. This will lead to incorrect tokenization. You should set the fix_mistral_regex=True flag when loading this tokenizer to fix this issue.

it works after re-install following instructions

Could you tell which package to re-install? And how to set 'fix_mistral_regex=True'? Thanks.

For vLLM:

pip install vllm>=0.12.0
pip install transformers>=5.0.0rc0

i just did this, my rig was 8 x RTX 5090 but i switched to 4 x Mac Studios M3 Ultra. hence i cannot test anymore.
