Fix: seamless integration with π€ generation pipelines
#9
by sangioai - opened
- Add input_ids parsing into the generate function, commonly used in π€ pipelines
Example:
# Load models
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("apple/FastVLM-7B", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"apple/FastVLM-7B",
torch_dtype=torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32,
device_map="auto",
trust_remote_code=True,
)
# Build prompt
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Describe San Francisco"}
]
# Tokenize
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
add_generation_prompt=True,
tokenize=True,
return_dict=True,
return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)
# Generate
with torch.no_grad():
out = model.generate(
**inputs,
max_new_tokens=128,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
