unable to run paligemma

[nischalj10]

I am trying to run the following code but it is giving error. please assist!

import mlx.core as mx
from mlx_vlm import load, generate

model_path = "google/paligemma-3b-mix-448"
model, processor = load(model_path)

print(processor)

prompt = processor.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    [{"role": "user", "content": f"<image>\nWhat are these?"}],
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
)

output = generate(model, processor, "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg", prompt, verbose=False)

Paligemma doesn't use chat_template.

Just pass the text string as is to generate.

thanks for the quick revert. i updated the code as suggested.

import mlx.core as mx
from mlx_vlm import load, generate

model_path = "google/paligemma-3b-mix-448"
model, processor = load(model_path)

output = generate(model, processor, "/Users/namanjain/app-data/local-recall/screenshots/1717766288971.png", prompt="describe this screenshot")

print(output)

it takes forever to generate any output. this is not the case with much larger models on my m2 chip. also, the max_tokens param is not configurable and somehow the model generates very few tokens.

[Blaizzy]

Could you share your setup specs?

also, the max_tokens param is not configurable and somehow the model generates very few tokens.

It is configurable, by default it's set to 100 but you can increase it by passing max_tokens argument to the generate function.

[nischalj10]

here's my generate function -

output = generate(model, processor, "/Users/namanjain/app-data/local-recall/screenshots/1717766288971.png", prompt="elaborately describe this screenshot. what app or website url is this on?", max_tokens=500)

but the model's response is one worded.

my specs are - M2 Air with 8 GM RAM. However, the GPU isn't fully utilised while inference and there's enough capacity to run the model

[Blaizzy]

A few of things to note about Paligemma:

1. Paligemma is not a chat model. It takes single-turn simple instructions and commands (i.e., detect cat, segment cat, Describe this image, What does image show). Read more here.
2. You are running the full precision model which even on M3 max runs at 5 tokens/s input and 25 tokens/s. For faster inference, you can use 8bit quant available in the MLX-community repo: https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/paligemma-3b-mix-448-8bit.
3. I would recommend the 224x224 model for your machine, instead of the 448x448 because the higher the resolution the more memory it needs to run: https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/paligemma-3b-mix-224-8bit.

@Blaizzy were you able to get these models to output bounding boxes? If I do for either of them something like detect cat as the prompt (on a sample image with 2 cats) it either gives or 2 (which is right but not the bounding box). I saw that elsewhere you were having issues adding the model into the library.

[Blaizzy]

Yes, the model works well for captions and counting objects.

However, indeed there is still a bug when it comes object detection and segmentation.

Sometimes it works and others it doesn't. I haven't managed to pin-point the issue.

[Blaizzy]

Segmentation seems to work better with lower temperatures.
