🚀 Installation & Usage
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForVision2Seq
import torch
model_id = "Lamapi/next-ocr"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
img = Image.open("image.jpg")
# ATTENTION: The content list must include both an image and text.
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are Next-OCR, an helpful AI assistant trained by Lamapi."},
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image", "image": img},
{"type": "text", "text": "Read the text in this image and summarize it."}
]
}
]
# Apply the chat template correctly
prompt = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=[img], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
generated = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(processor.decode(generated[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
