            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("unsloth/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-unsloth-bnb-4bit")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("unsloth/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-unsloth-bnb-4bit", device_map="auto")
