SmolVLM

FlashAttention SDPA

Overview

SmolVLM2 (blog post) is an adaptation of the Idefics3 model with two main differences:

  • It uses SmolLM2 for the text model.
  • It supports multi-image and video inputs

Usage tips

Input images are processed either by upsampling (if resizing is enabled) or at their original resolution. The resizing behavior depends on two parameters: do_resize and size.

Videos should not be upsampled.

If do_resize is set to True, the model resizes images so that the longest edge is 4512 pixels by default. The default resizing behavior can be customized by passing a dictionary to the size parameter. For example, `{“longest_edge”: 4 512}` is the default, but you can change it to a different value if needed.

Here’s how to control resizing and set a custom size:

image_processor = SmolVLMImageProcessor(do_resize=True, size={"longest_edge": 2 * 512}, max_image_size=512)

Additionally, the max_image_size parameter, which controls the size of each square patch the image is decomposed into, is set to 512 by default but can be adjusted as needed. After resizing (if applicable), the image processor decomposes the images into square patches based on the max_image_size parameter.

This model was contributed by orrzohar.

Usage example

Single Media inference

The model can accept both images and videos as input, but you should use only one of the modalities at a time. Here’s an example code for that.

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor


processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-256M-Video-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    "HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-256M-Video-Instruct",
    device_map="auto"
)

conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content":[
            {"type": "image", "url": "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."}
        ]
    }
]

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    conversation,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

output_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
generated_texts = processor.batch_decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(generated_texts)


# Video
conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "video", "path": "/path/to/video.mp4"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this video in detail"}
        ]
    },
]

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    conversation,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, do_sample=False, max_new_tokens=100)
generated_texts = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(generated_texts[0])

Batch Mixed Media Inference

The model can batch inputs composed of several images/videos and text. Here is an example.

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor


processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-256M-Video-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    "HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-256M-Video-Instruct",
    device_map="auto"
)

# Conversation for the first image
conversation1 = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "path": "/path/to/image.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."}
        ]
    }
]

# Conversation with two images
conversation2 = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "path": "/path/to/image.jpg"},
            {"type": "image", "path": "/path/to/image.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is written in the pictures?"}
        ]
    }
]

# Conversation with pure text
conversation3 = [
    {"role": "user","content": "who are you?"}
]


conversations = [conversation1, conversation2, conversation3]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    conversations,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, do_sample=False, max_new_tokens=100)
generated_texts = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(generated_texts[0])

Parameters

  • input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

    Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

    What are input IDs?

  • attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for tokens that are not masked,
    • 0 for tokens that are masked.

    What are attention masks?

  • position_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.n_positions - 1].

    What are position IDs?

  • past_key_values (~cache_utils.Cache, optional) — Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the past_key_values returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when use_cache=True or config.use_cache=True.

    Only Cache instance is allowed as input, see our kv cache guide. If no past_key_values are passed, DynamicCache will be initialized by default.

    The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

    If past_key_values are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, unprocessed_length) instead of all input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

  • inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
  • pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size), optional) — The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using SmolVLMImageProcessor. See SmolVLMImageProcessor.__call__() for details (SmolVLMProcessor uses SmolVLMImageProcessor for processing images).
  • pixel_attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, image_size, image_size), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding pixel indices.
  • image_hidden_states (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)) — The hidden states of the image encoder after modality projection.
  • use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).

Returns

SmolVLMBaseModelOutputWithPast or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

A SmolVLMBaseModelOutputWithPast or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (SmolVLMConfig) and inputs.

Inputs fed to the model can have an arbitrary number of images. To account for this, pixel_values fed to the model have image padding -> (batch_size, max_num_images, 3, max_heights, max_widths) where max_num_images is the maximum number of images among the batch_size samples in the batch. Padding images are not needed beyond padding the pixel_values at the entrance of the model. For efficiency, we only pass through the vision_model’s forward the real images by discarding the padding images i.e. pixel_values of size (image_batch_size, 3, height, width) where image_batch_size would be 7 when num_images_per_sample=[1, 3, 1, 2] and max_num_images would be 3.

  • last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model. If past_key_values is used only the last hidden-state of the sequences of shape (batch_size, 1, hidden_size) is output.

    Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and optionally if config.is_encoder_decoder=True in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  • hidden_states (tuple[torch.FloatTensor], optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

    Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

E.g. for BERT-family of models, this returns the classification token after processing through a linear layer and a tanh activation function. The linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

  • hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

  • logits_to_keep (Union[int, torch.Tensor], optional, defaults to 0) — If an int, compute logits for the last logits_to_keep tokens. If 0, calculate logits for all input_ids (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size. If a torch.Tensor, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension. This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).

( pixel_values: FloatTensorpixel_attention_mask: typing.Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None**kwargs: Unpack ) BaseModelOutputWithPooling or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

Parameters

  • pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)) — The tensors corresponding to the input images.
  • pixel_attention_mask (torch.LongTensor, optional) — The attention mask indicating padded regions in the image.

Returns

BaseModelOutputWithPooling or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

A BaseModelOutputWithPooling or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (SmolVLMConfig) and inputs.

  • last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

  • pooler_output (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, hidden_size)) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) after further processing through the layers used for the auxiliary pretraining task. E.g. for BERT-family of models, this returns the classification token after processing through a linear layer and a tanh activation function. The linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

  • hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

    Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

  • attentions (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

    Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

( image_processortokenizervideo_processorimage_seq_len: int = 169chat_template: str | None = None**kwargs )

Parameters

  • image_processor (SmolVLMImageProcessor) — The image processor is a required input.
  • tokenizer (TokenizersBackend) — The tokenizer is a required input.
  • video_processor (SmolVLMVideoProcessor) — The video processor is a required input.
  • image_seq_len (int, optional, defaults to 169) — The length of the image sequence i.e. the number of tokens per image in the input. This parameter is used to build the string from the input prompt and image tokens and should match the value the model used. It is computed as: image_seq_len = int(((image_size // patch_size) 2) / (scale_factor2))
  • chat_template (str, optional) — A Jinja template to convert lists of messages in a chat into a tokenizable string.

Constructs a SmolVLMProcessor which wraps a image processor, a tokenizer, and a video processor into a single processor.

SmolVLMProcessor offers all the functionalities of SmolVLMImageProcessor, TokenizersBackend, and SmolVLMVideoProcessor. See the ~SmolVLMImageProcessor, ~TokenizersBackend, and ~SmolVLMVideoProcessor for more information.

( images: typing.Union[ForwardRef('PIL.Image.Image'), numpy.ndarray, ForwardRef('torch.Tensor'), list['PIL.Image.Image'], list[numpy.ndarray], list['torch.Tensor'], NoneType] = Nonetext: str | list[str] | list[list[str]] | None = Nonevideos: typing.Union[list['PIL.Image.Image'], numpy.ndarray, ForwardRef('torch.Tensor'), list[numpy.ndarray], list['torch.Tensor'], list[list['PIL.Image.Image']], list[list[numpy.ndarray]], list[list['torch.Tensor']], transformers.video_utils.URL, list[transformers.video_utils.URL], list[list[transformers.video_utils.URL]], transformers.video_utils.Path, list[transformers.video_utils.Path], list[list[transformers.video_utils.Path]], NoneType] = Noneaudio: typing.Union[numpy.ndarray, ForwardRef('torch.Tensor'), collections.abc.Sequence[numpy.ndarray], collections.abc.Sequence['torch.Tensor'], NoneType] = None**kwargs: Unpack )

Parameters

  • images (Union[PIL.Image.Image, numpy.ndarray, torch.Tensor, list[PIL.Image.Image], list[numpy.ndarray], list[torch.Tensor]], optional) — Image to preprocess. Expects a single or batch of images with pixel values ranging from 0 to 255. If passing in images with pixel values between 0 and 1, set do_rescale=False.
  • text (Union[str, list[str], list[list[str]]], optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If you pass a pretokenized input, set is_split_into_words=True to avoid ambiguity with batched inputs.
  • videos (Union[list[PIL.Image.Image], numpy.ndarray, torch.Tensor, list[numpy.ndarray], list[torch.Tensor], list[list[PIL.Image.Image]], list[list[numpy.ndarray]], list[list[torch.Tensor]], ~video_utils.URL, list[~video_utils.URL], list[list[~video_utils.URL]], ~video_utils.Path, list[~video_utils.Path], list[list[~video_utils.Path]]], optional) — Video to preprocess. Expects a single or batch of videos with pixel values ranging from 0 to 255. If passing in videos with pixel values between 0 and 1, set do_rescale=False.
  • audio (Union[numpy.ndarray, torch.Tensor, collections.abc.Sequence[numpy.ndarray], collections.abc.Sequence[torch.Tensor]], optional) — The audio or batch of audios to be prepared. Each audio can be a NumPy array or PyTorch tensor. In case of a NumPy array/PyTorch tensor, each audio should be of shape (C, T), where C is a number of channels, and T is the sample length of the audio.
  • return_tensors (str or TensorType, optional) — If set, will return tensors of a particular framework. Acceptable values are:

    • 'pt': Return PyTorch torch.Tensor objects.
    • 'np': Return NumPy np.ndarray objects.
  • **kwargs (ProcessingKwargs, optional) — Additional processing options for each modality (text, images, videos, audio). Model-specific parameters are listed above; see the TypedDict class for the complete list of supported arguments.
