# DeepseekVL

[Deepseek-VL](https://huggingface.co/papers/2403.05525) was introduced by the DeepSeek AI team. It is a vision-language model (VLM) designed to process both text and images for generating contextually relevant responses. The model leverages [LLaMA](./llama) as its text encoder, while [SigLip](./siglip) is used for encoding images.

You can find all the original Deepseek-VL checkpoints under the [DeepSeek-community](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-community) organization.

> [!TIP]
> Click on the Deepseek-VL models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply Deepseek-VL to different vision and language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text based on an image with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline) or the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel) class.

```py
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    task="image-text-to-text",
    model="deepseek-community/deepseek-vl-1.3b-chat",
    device=0,
    dtype=torch.float16
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {

            },
            { "type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
        ]
    }
]

pipe(text=messages, max_new_tokens=20, return_full_text=False)
```

```py
import torch
from transformers import DeepseekVLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor

)

messages = [
    {
        "role":"user",
        "content":[

    out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
output_text = processor.batch_decode(
    generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False

print(output_text)
```

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [torchao](../quantization/torchao) to only quantize the weights to int4.

```python
import torch
from transformers import TorchAoConfig, DeepseekVLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor

quantization_config = TorchAoConfig(
    "int4_weight_only",
    group_size=128
)

model = DeepseekVLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "deepseek-community/deepseek-vl-1.3b-chat",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    quantization_config=quantization_config
)
```

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.0.0/src/transformers/models/deepseek_vl/configuration_deepseek_vl.py#L30)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [DeepseekVLModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/deepseek_vl#transformers.DeepseekVLModel). It is used to instantiate a
DeepseekVL model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration
with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the DeepseekVL
[deepseek-community/deepseek-vl-1.3b-chat](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-community/deepseek-vl-1.3b-chat) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import DeepseekVLConfig, DeepseekVLModel

>>> # Initializing a DeepseekVL deepseek-community/deepseek-vl-1.3b-chat style configuration
>>> configuration = DeepseekVLConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the deepseek-community/deepseek-vl-1.3b-chat style configuration
>>> model = DeepseekVLModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config
```

**Parameters:**

text_config (`Union[AutoConfig, dict]`, *optional*, defaults to `LlamaConfig`) : The config object or dictionary of the text backbone.

library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't

- **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

  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.

For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks) that can be used (see
  `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple[torch.FloatTensor] | None.hidden_states`, 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] | None.attentions`, 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_hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the image embeddings, `(batch_size, num_images,
  sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder, and optionally by the perceiver
