How to use lightonai/LightOnOCR-2-1B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="lightonai/LightOnOCR-2-1B")
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, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("lightonai/LightOnOCR-2-1B")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("lightonai/LightOnOCR-2-1B")
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]:]))

For this image I need one minute to extract text on hugging face space and > 2 min on my local RTX4050. What am I doing wrong? How do you get the 5pages/s speed???

Tested on the exact same specifications in the code snippets, with the same hardware (H100).

Currently getting 2.64 pages/sec.

Can you please investigate or give any kind of information about the setup you're using?

Thanks
