Welcome to the exciting world of InternVL2-40B! This advanced multimodal large language model brings together the power of vision and language, enabling numerous applications from document comprehension to cultural understanding. In this article, we’ll explore how to set up and utilize InternVL2-40B effectively with a user-friendly approach.

Getting Started with InternVL2-40B

The InternVL2-40B model is designed for seamless integration into your projects. Here’s how to get started:

• Ensure you have transformers library installed (version 4.37.2 is recommended).
• Download the model and prepare your environment for running this advanced AI model.
• Utilize the provided example code snippets for easy implementation.

Setting Up InternVL2-40B

To get InternVL2-40B up and running, a few key steps need to be undertaken. Think of this as setting up an advanced coffee machine—each component is vital for crafting that perfect brew!

1. Model Loading

Loading the model can be done in two different precision modes. Here’s how:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

path = "OpenGVLab/InternVL2-40B"

# 16-bit (bf16 / fp16)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True
).eval().cuda()

# For BNB 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()

2. Multi-GPU Setup

If you’re working with large models, you might want to distribute the load across multiple GPUs, much like a relay team passing the baton! Here’s how you can do it:

def split_model(model_name):
    device_map = {}
    world_size = torch.cuda.device_count()
    num_layers = {'InternVL2-40B': 60}[model_name]
    num_layers_per_gpu = num_layers // world_size

    for i in range(world_size):
        for j in range(num_layers_per_gpu):
            device_map[f'language_model.model.layers.{j}'] = i
    return device_map

device_map = split_model('InternVL2-40B')

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

Running Inference

Now that the model is loaded, let’s run some inferences. Imagine you’re having a conversation with the model—it’s all about asking the right questions!

# Single image query
question = '\nPlease describe the image shortly.'
response = model.chat(tokenizer, pixel_values, question, generation_config)
print(f'User: {question}\nAssistant: {response}')

# Multi-image query
pixel_values1 = load_image('./examples/image1.jpg', max_num=12)
pixel_values2 = load_image('./examples/image2.jpg', max_num=12)
pixel_values = torch.cat((pixel_values1, pixel_values2), dim=0)

questions = ['\nDescribe the two images in detail.'] * 2
responses = model.batch_chat(tokenizer, pixel_values, questions, generation_config)
for question, response in zip(questions, responses):
    print(f'User: {question}\nAssistant: {response}')

Troubleshooting Tips

Sometimes, things might not go as smoothly as predicted. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Import Errors: If you face import errors, check that all necessary libraries are installed.
• GPU Memory Errors: If you encounter out-of-memory errors, consider reducing model precision or utilizing fewer images for input.
• Model Performance Issues: If the output is not as expected, ensure that the context window is set properly, and the model weights are loaded correctly.
