Libraries

How to use thegovind/blink-mimo-9b with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="thegovind/blink-mimo-9b")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("thegovind/blink-mimo-9b")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("thegovind/blink-mimo-9b", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

	blink model weights: non-commercial research licence

	These weights are a modification of XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B (its model card declares MIT; see LICENSE-MiMo.md). It is based on Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B (Apache License 2.0; see LICENSE-Qwen).
	The modification (fine-tuning with LoRA adapters merged into the weights) was made by thegovind.

	The fine-tuning data included third-party datasets released under different terms, among them
	non-commercial (CC BY-NC 3.0 / 4.0) and share-alike (CC BY-SA 3.0 / 4.0) licences, and sources that
	state no licence (listed in README.md). Whether and how those terms apply to trained weights is unsettled.

	The author of the modification permits you to use, copy and run it for non-commercial research and
	evaluation only, provided LICENSE.md, LICENSE-MiMo.md and LICENSE-Qwen are kept with every copy. No licence for commercial
	use is granted, and nothing here grants rights in any third-party data. You remain responsible for
	complying with MiMo's declared MIT terms and the Apache License 2.0 for the Qwen base weights and with the terms of the upstream datasets.

	THE WEIGHTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

	This is a personal research release. It is not an official product of any company, and it is not
	affiliated with TypeSafe AI, Xiaomi, Alibaba Cloud or the Qwen team.
