Getting Started with InternVL2-4B: A Guide to Multimodal Language Models

Category :

Welcome to the exciting world of InternVL 2.0, a series of multimodal large language models that facilitates an array of tasks across text and image comprehension. In this guide, we will walk you through the setup and usage of the InternVL2-4B model, ensuring you harness its full potential. So, grab a cup of coffee and let’s dive in!

Introduction to InternVL2-4B

InternVL2-4B is designed to manage challenging tasks such as document comprehension, scientific problem-solving, and even cultural understanding through integrated multimodal capabilities. Based on a robust architecture, it boasts various instruction-tuned models, providing everything from basic to highly complex interactions.

Quick Start: Let’s Get This Model Up and Running

To load the InternVL2-4B model effectively, observe the following code snippets tailored for different usage scenarios:

Model Loading

For 16-bit precision (bf16 / fp16)

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

path = "OpenGVLab/InternVL2-4B"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True
).eval().cuda()

For 8-bit Quantization

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    load_in_8bit=True,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True
).eval()

For 4-bit Quantization

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    load_in_4bit=True,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True
).eval()

For Multi-GPU Usage

This method is particularly useful for effectiveness when deploying models across multiple GPUs, ensuring everything works seamlessly.

import math
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

def split_model(model_name):
    device_map = {}
    world_size = torch.cuda.device_count()
    num_layers = {...}  # Refer to earlier model layer mapping
    ...
    return device_map

path = "OpenGVLab/InternVL2-4B"
device_map = split_model('InternVL2-4B')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    device_map=device_map
).eval()

How to Perform Inference

Once you’ve successfully loaded the model, it’s time to harness its power! Below, we illustrate how to interact with InternVL2-4B:

Image and Text Interaction

This process allows you to not only generate responses based on text but also analyze images.

import numpy as np
import torch
from PIL import Image
from torchvision import transforms

def load_image(image_file):
    ...
    return pixel_values

pixel_values = load_image('./examples/image1.jpg').to(torch.bfloat16).cuda()
question = "\nPlease describe the image shortly."
response = model.chat(tokenizer, pixel_values, question)
print(f'User: {question}\nAssistant: {response}') 

Troubleshooting Common Issues

As you embark on your journey with InternVL2-4B, you might run into some bumps along the road. Here are some common issues and how to address them:

  • If you experience memory errors: Ensure you’re utilizing lower precision models or 8-bit quantization if you have limited GPU memory.
  • Model not loading: Check that you’re using the supported version of the Transformers library. We recommend using transformers==4.37.2 for optimal performance.
  • Unresponsive images or slow inference: This could occur due to high-resolution images. Consider resizing images before processing them.
