# Usage
## Get the latest codebase from Github
```Bash
git clone https://github.com/X-PLUG/mPLUG-Owl.git
```

## Model initialization
```Python
from mplug_owl.modeling_mplug_owl import MplugOwlForConditionalGeneration
from mplug_owl.tokenization_mplug_owl import MplugOwlTokenizer
from mplug_owl.processing_mplug_owl import MplugOwlImageProcessor, MplugOwlProcessor

pretrained_ckpt = 'MAGAer13/mplug-owl-llama-7b'
model = MplugOwlForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    pretrained_ckpt,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
image_processor = MplugOwlImageProcessor.from_pretrained(pretrained_ckpt)
tokenizer = MplugOwlTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_ckpt)
processor = MplugOwlProcessor(image_processor, tokenizer)
```

## Model inference
Prepare model inputs.
```Python
# We use a human/AI template to organize the context as a multi-turn conversation.
# <image> denotes an image placehold.
prompts = [
'''The following is a conversation between a curious human and AI assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions.
Human: <image>
Human: Explain why this meme is funny.
AI: ''']

# The image paths should be placed in the image_list and kept in the same order as in the prompts.
# We support urls, local file paths and base64 string. You can custom the pre-process of images by modifying the mplug_owl.modeling_mplug_owl.ImageProcessor
image_list = ['https://xxx.com/image.jpg']
```

Get response.
```Python
# generate kwargs (the same in transformers) can be passed in the do_generate()
generate_kwargs = {
    'do_sample': True,
    'top_k': 5,
    'max_length': 512
}
from PIL import Image
images = [Image.open(_) for _ in image_list]
inputs = processor(text=prompts, images=images, return_tensors='pt')
inputs = {k: v.bfloat16() if v.dtype == torch.float else v for k, v in inputs.items()}
inputs = {k: v.to(model.device) for k, v in inputs.items()}
with torch.no_grad():
    res = model.generate(**inputs, **generate_kwargs)
sentence = tokenizer.decode(res.tolist()[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(sentence)
```
