Libraries

How to use Sunbird/Sunflower-Gemma4-E2B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Sunbird/Sunflower-Gemma4-E2B")
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("Sunbird/Sunflower-Gemma4-E2B")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Sunbird/Sunflower-Gemma4-E2B", 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]:]))

I'm thinking about building an APK of a Wolof voice-first Gemma 4 E2B model on Android devices, and I suddenly found this model. It's amazing to see people trying to bridge the digital gap.

Nice that you find this useful.

Fyi, we have a demo android app we built on top of this, feel free to make a PR and reuse all that we open sourced here.

There are a few challenges running the specific version of gemma4-e2b with litert-lm that which, if you find a work around, would be very useful for the community.

See the app codebase.
