# mPLUG-Owl3

## Introduction
mPLUG-Owl3 is a state-of-the-art multi-modal large language model designed to tackle the challenges of long image sequence understanding. We propose Hyper Attention, which boosts the speed of long visual sequence understanding in multimodal large language models by sixfold, allowing for processing of visual sequences that are eight times longer. Meanwhile, we maintain excellent performance on single-image, multi-image, and video tasks.

Github: [mPLUG-Owl](https://github.com/X-PLUG/mPLUG-Owl)

## Quickstart

Load the mPLUG-Owl3. We now only support attn_implementation in ```['sdpa', 'flash_attention_2']```.
```Python
import torch
model_path = 'mPLUG/mPLUG-Owl3-7B-240728'
config = mPLUGOwl3Config.from_pretrained(model_path)
print(config)
# model = mPLUGOwl3Model(config).cuda().half()
model = mPLUGOwl3Model.from_pretrained(model_path, attn_implementation='sdpa', torch_dtype=torch.half)
model.eval().cuda()
```
Chat with images.
```Python
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor
from decord import VideoReader, cpu    # pip install decord
model_path = 'mPLUG/mPLUG-Owl3-7B-240728'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
processor = model.init_processor(tokenizer)

image = Image.new('RGB', (500, 500), color='red')

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": """<|image|>
Describe this image."""},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": ""}
]

inputs = processor(messages, images=[image], videos=None)

inputs.to('cuda')
inputs.update({
    'tokenizer': tokenizer,
    'max_new_tokens':100,
    'decode_text':True,
})


g = model.generate(**inputs)
print(g)
```

Chat with a video.
```Python
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor
from decord import VideoReader, cpu    # pip install decord
model_path = 'mPLUG/mPLUG-Owl3-7B-240728'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
processor = model.init_processor(tokenizer)


messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": """<|video|>
Describe this video."""},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": ""}
]

videos = ['/nas-mmu-data/examples/car_room.mp4']

MAX_NUM_FRAMES=16

def encode_video(video_path):
    def uniform_sample(l, n):
        gap = len(l) / n
        idxs = [int(i * gap + gap / 2) for i in range(n)]
        return [l[i] for i in idxs]

    vr = VideoReader(video_path, ctx=cpu(0))
    sample_fps = round(vr.get_avg_fps() / 1)  # FPS
    frame_idx = [i for i in range(0, len(vr), sample_fps)]
    if len(frame_idx) > MAX_NUM_FRAMES:
        frame_idx = uniform_sample(frame_idx, MAX_NUM_FRAMES)
    frames = vr.get_batch(frame_idx).asnumpy()
    frames = [Image.fromarray(v.astype('uint8')) for v in frames]
    print('num frames:', len(frames))
    return frames
video_frames = [encode_video(_) for _ in videos]
inputs = processor(messages, images=None, videos=video_frames)

inputs.to('cuda')
inputs.update({
    'tokenizer': tokenizer,
    'max_new_tokens':100,
    'decode_text':True,
})


g = model.generate(**inputs)
print(g)
```
