This is the Huggingface version of [Yi-VL-6B](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-VL-6B) model.

You may use this model for fine-tuning in downstream tasks, we recommend using our efficient fine-tuning toolkit. https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory

- **Developed by:** [01-AI](https://www.01.ai/).
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Chinese/English
- **License:** [Yi Series Model License](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-VL-34B/blob/main/LICENSE)

Usage:

```python
import requests
from PIL import Image

import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForVision2Seq

model_id = "BUAADreamer/Yi-VL-6B-hf"

messages = [
  { "role": "user", "content": "What's in the picture?" }
]

model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(
    model_id, 
    torch_dtype=torch.float16, 
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True, 
).to(0)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)

text = [processor.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=False)]
images = [Image.open(requests.get(image_file, stream=True).raw)]
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=images, return_tensors='pt').to(0, torch.float16)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=200)
output = processor.batch_decode(output, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(output.split("Assistant:")[-1].strip())
```

You could also alternatively launch a Web demo by using the CLI command in [LLaMA-Factory](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory)

```bash
llamafactory-cli webchat \
--model_name_or_path BUAADreamer/Yi-VL-6B-hf \
--template yivl \
--visual_inputs
```
