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]:]))

 ## Screenshots (opt-in, self-hosted)
 Image input is off by default. Start `serve.py` with `--vision`, or set `BLINK_VISION=1` for direct `blink.py` calls. Image mode needs `torchvision==0.28.0`; it uses MiMo's unchanged tower.
 This is a self-hosted blink extension. TypeSafe's hosted Jev is text-only and its published API has no image field. Put a `data:image/png;base64,...` URI (JPEG or WebP also work) in a string in `state`, or send data URIs in a top-level `images` list. Image URLs are not fetched. `--image-layout first|inline` places image tokens; `first` is the default, not a switch that enables images. For renamed folders or Docker's `/blink`, use `--model-name blink-mimo-9b` or `BLINK_MODEL_NAME=blink-mimo-9b`; model checks still apply.
