# Granite Vision

## Overview

The [Granite Vision](https://www.ibm.com/new/announcements/ibm-granite-3-1-powerful-performance-long-context-and-more) model is a variant of [LLaVA-NeXT](llava_next), leveraging a [Granite](granite) language model alongside a [SigLIP](SigLIP) visual encoder. It utilizes multiple concatenated vision hidden states as its image features, similar to [VipLlava](vipllava). It also uses a larger set of image grid pinpoints than the original LlaVa-NeXT models to support additional aspect ratios.

Tips:

- This model is loaded into Transformers as an instance of LlaVA-Next. The usage and tips from [LLaVA-NeXT](llava_next) apply to this model as well.

- You can apply the chat template on the tokenizer / processor in the same way as well. Example chat format:

```bash
"\nWhat’s shown in this image?\n\nThis image shows a red stop sign.\nDescribe the image in more details.\n\n"
```

Sample inference:

```python
from transformers import LlavaNextProcessor, LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration
from accelerate import Accelerator

device = Accelerator().device

model_path = "ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.1-2b-preview"
processor = LlavaNextProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path)

model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_path).to(device)

# prepare image and text prompt, using the appropriate prompt template
url = "https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/1a91fc274d7c35a9b50b3cb29c4247ae5837ce39/images/llava_v1_5_radar.jpg?raw=true"

conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": url},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ],
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    conversation,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

# autoregressively complete prompt
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)

print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.0.0/src/transformers/models/llava_next/configuration_llava_next.py#L23)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration). It is used to instantiate an
Llava-NeXT 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 [llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf](https://huggingface.co/llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf)
model.

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 LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration, LlavaNextConfig, CLIPVisionConfig, LlamaConfig

>>> # Initializing a CLIP-vision config
>>> vision_config = CLIPVisionConfig()

>>> # Initializing a Llama config
>>> text_config = LlamaConfig()

>>> # Initializing a Llava-Next llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf style configuration
>>> configuration = LlavaNextConfig(vision_config, text_config)

>>> # Initializing a model from the llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf style configuration
>>> model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration(configuration)

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

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **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
  [LlavaNextImageProcessorFast](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextImageProcessorFast). See [LlavaNextImageProcessorFast.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/fuyu#transformers.FuyuImageProcessor.__call__) for details ([LlavaNextProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextProcessor) uses
  [LlavaNextImageProcessorFast](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextImageProcessorFast) for processing images).
- **image_sizes** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, 2)`, *optional*) --
  The sizes of the images in the batch, being (height, width) for each image.
- **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?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **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?](../glossary#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](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.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.
- **vision_feature_layer** (`Union[int, list]`, *optional*) --
  The index of the layer to select the vision feature. If multiple indices are provided,
  the vision feature of the corresponding indices will be concatenated to form the
  vision features.
- **vision_feature_select_strategy** (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"default"`) --
  The feature selection strategy used to select the vision feature from the vision backbone.
  Can be one of `"default"` or `"full"`. If `"default"`, the CLS token is removed from the vision features.
  If `"full"`, the full vision features are used.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.
- **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`).
- **output_attentions** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned
  tensors for more detail.
- **output_hidden_states** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for
  more detail.
- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.
- **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).0`transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A `transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` or a tuple of

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
- **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. 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** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) -- A `torch.FloatTensor` of size (batch_size * num_patches, num_images, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.
  image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder and after projecting the last hidden state.
The [LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

```python
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> import httpx
>>> from io import BytesIO
>>> from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration

>>> model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")
>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

>>> prompt = "[INST] \nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST]"
>>> url = "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"
>>> with httpx.stream("GET", url) as response:
...     image = Image.open(BytesIO(response.read()))

>>> inputs = processor(images=image, text=prompt, return_tensors="pt")

>>> # Generate
>>> generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=30)
>>> processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
"[INST]  \nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST] The image appears to be a radar chart, which is a type of multi-dimensional plot (...)"
```

**Parameters:**

config ([LlavaNextConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextConfig)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**

``transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)``

A `transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` 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 ([LlavaNextConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/llava_next#transformers.LlavaNextConfig)) and inputs.
