Qwen2.5 VL 72B Instruct Pointer AWQ

🚀 Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct-Pointer-AWQ

This model addresses the issue where the official Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct-AWQ doesn't support tensor parallel on vllm. It enables --tensor-parallel with 2, 4, or 8 GPUs. Use vllm==0.7.3.

✨ Features

Key Enhancements

• Understand things visually: Qwen2.5-VL can recognize common objects and analyze texts, charts, icons, graphics, and layouts in images.
• Being agentic: It acts as a visual agent, capable of reasoning and directing tools for computer and phone use.
• Understanding long videos and capturing events: The model can comprehend videos over 1 hour and pinpoint relevant video segments.
• Capable of visual localization in different formats: It can accurately localize objects in images and provide stable JSON outputs for coordinates and attributes.
• Generating structured outputs: For data like scans of invoices, forms, and tables, Qwen2.5-VL supports structured outputs, beneficial for finance and commerce.

Model Architecture Updates

• Dynamic Resolution and Frame Rate Training for Video Understanding: By adopting dynamic FPS sampling, the model can understand videos at various sampling rates. mRoPE is updated in the time dimension to enable the model to learn temporal sequence and speed.
• Streamlined and Efficient Vision Encoder: Window attention is implemented in the ViT to enhance training and inference speeds. The ViT architecture is further optimized with SwiGLU and RMSNorm, aligning with the Qwen2.5 LLM.

There are three models with 3, 7, and 72 billion parameters. This repo contains the instruction - tuned 72B Qwen2.5 - VL model. For more information, visit our Blog and GitHub.

📦 Installation

The code of Qwen2.5-VL is in the latest Hugging face transformers. It is recommended to build from source with the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers accelerate

Otherwise, you might encounter the following error:

KeyError: 'qwen2_5_vl'

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

We offer a toolkit to handle various visual inputs more conveniently. Install it using the following command:

# It's highly recommended to use `[decord]` feature for faster video loading.
pip install qwen-vl-utils[decord]==0.0.8

If you are not using Linux, you might not be able to install decord from PyPI. In that case, use pip install qwen-vl-utils which will fall back to using torchvision for video processing. However, you can still install decord from source to use decord when loading videos.

Video URL compatibility largely depends on the third - party library version. The details are in the table below. Change the backend by FORCE_QWENVL_VIDEO_READER=torchvision or FORCE_QWENVL_VIDEO_READER=decord if you prefer not to use the default one.

More Usage Tips

• Input Formats: For input images, local files, base64, and URLs are supported. For videos, currently only local files are supported.

# You can directly insert a local file path, a URL, or a base64 - encoded image into the position where you want in the text.
## Local file path
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "image": "file:///path/to/your/image.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
        ],
    }
]
## Image URL
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "image": "http://path/to/your/image.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
        ],
    }
]
## Base64 encoded image
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "image": "data:image;base64,/9j/..."},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
        ],
    }
]

• Image Resolution for performance boost: The model supports a wide range of resolution inputs. By default, it uses the native resolution for input, but higher resolutions can enhance performance at the cost of more computation. Users can set the minimum and maximum number of pixels to achieve an optimal configuration for their needs, such as a token count range of 256 - 1280, to balance speed and memory usage.

min_pixels = 256 * 28 * 28
max_pixels = 1280 * 28 * 28
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct", min_pixels=min_pixels, max_pixels=max_pixels
)

There are two methods for fine - grained control over the image size input to the model: 1. Define min_pixels and max_pixels: Images will be resized to maintain their aspect ratio within the range of min_pixels and max_pixels. 2. Specify exact dimensions: Directly set resized_height and resized_width. These values will be rounded to the nearest multiple of 28.

# min_pixels and max_pixels
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image",
                "image": "file:///path/to/your/image.jpg",
                "resized_height": 280,
                "resized_width": 420,
            },
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
        ],
    }
]
# resized_height and resized_width
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image",
                "image": "file:///path/to/your/image.jpg",
                "min_pixels": 50176,
                "max_pixels": 50176,
            },
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
        ],
    }
]

• Processing Long Texts: The current config.json is set for a context length of up to 32,768 tokens. To handle extensive inputs exceeding 32,768 tokens, YaRN is utilized. For supported frameworks, add the following to config.json to enable YaRN:

{
    ...,
    "type": "yarn",
    "mrope_section": [
        16,
        24,
        24
    ],
    "factor": 4,
    "original_max_position_embeddings": 32768
}

However, it should be noted that this method has a significant impact on the performance of temporal and spatial localization tasks.
