We are thrilled to release our latest Eagle2 series Vision-Language Model. Open-source Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have made significant strides in narrowing the gap with proprietary models. However, critical details about data strategies and implementation are often missing, limiting reproducibility and innovation. In this project, we focus on VLM post-training from a data-centric perspective, sharing insights into building effective data strategies from scratch. By combining these strategies with robust training recipes and model design, we introduce Eagle2, a family of performant VLMs. Our work aims to empower the open-source community to develop competitive VLMs with transparent processes.

In this repo, we are open-sourcing Eagle2-1B, a compact and efficient model designed for scenarios requiring fast inference and minimal computational resources, without compromising essential performance

Model Zoo

We provide the following models:

Quick Start

We provide a inference script to help you quickly start using the model. We support different input types:

pure text input
single image input
multiple image input
video input

0. Install the dependencies

bash

pip install transformers==4.37.2
pip install flash-attn

Note: Latest version of transformers is not compatible with the model.

                         args.device)

2. Prepare the Prompt

Single image input

python

prompt = [
        {'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful assistant.'},
        {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Describe this image in details.', 
            'image':[
                {'url': 'https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/about-nvidia/logo-and-brand/01-nvidia-logo-vert-500x200-2c50-d@2x.png'}
            ],
        }
    ]

Multiple image input

python

prompt = [
        {'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful assistant.'},
        {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Describe these two images in details.', 
            'image':[
                {'url': 'https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/about-nvidia/logo-and-brand/01-nvidia-logo-vert-500x200-2c50-d@2x.png'},
                {'url': 'https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/about-nvidia/logo-and-brand/01-nvidia-logo-vert-500x200-2c50-d@2x.png'}
            ],
        }
    ]

Video input

python

prompt = [
        {'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful assistant.'},
        {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Describe this video in details.', 
            'video':[
                'path/to/your/video.mp4'
            ],
        }
    ]

3. Generate the response

python

params = {
    'prompt': prompt,
    'max_input_tiles': 24,
    'temperature': 0.7,
    'top_p': 1.0,
    'max_new_tokens': 4096,
    'repetition_penalty': 1.0,
    }
worker.generate(params)
