How to Use MiniCPM-Llama3-V, the GPT-4V Level Multimodal LLM on Your Phone

Category :

In this fast-paced digital world, having powerful language models at our fingertips can be invaluable. Enter the MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5, the latest addition to the MiniCPM family, which combines cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional multimodal performance right on your mobile device! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started with MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5, including installation, usage, and troubleshooting tips.

Getting Started

Installation Requirements

Before you dive in, ensure your environment is ready with the following dependencies installed:


Pillow==10.1.0
torch==2.1.2
torchvision==0.16.2
transformers==4.40.0
sentencepiece==0.1.99

You can install these dependencies using `pip`:


pip install Pillow==10.1.0 torch==2.1.2 torchvision==0.16.2 transformers==4.40.0 sentencepiece==0.1.99

Running the Model

Now, let’s set up your code. Here’s a simplified view of how to use the MiniCPM-Llama3-V model:


import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

# Load model and tokenizer
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('openbmb/MiniCPM-Llama3-V-2_5', trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
model = model.to(device='cuda')  # Ensure you have a GPU available
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('openbmb/MiniCPM-Llama3-V-2_5', trust_remote_code=True)

# Prepare your image and question
image = Image.open('xx.jpg').convert('RGB')  # Replace 'xx.jpg' with your image path
question = 'What is in the image?'
msgs = [{'role': 'user', 'content': question}]

# Get the result
res = model.chat(image=image, msgs=msgs, tokenizer=tokenizer, sampling=True, temperature=0.7)
print(res)

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Imagine you’re preparing for a dinner party:

1. Gathering Ingredients: Just as you would collect ingredients for your meal, in our code, we ‘import’ the required libraries (torch, PIL, transformers). These libraries are essential ‘ingredients’ that will help us run the model.

2. Preparing the Cookware: Loading the model (`AutoModel.from_pretrained()`) is like setting up your pots and pans. You need the right tools to cook your meal, just as you need the model to process your input.

3. Cooking the Meal: When you put your ingredients into a simmering pot, you get something delicious! In our code, we load an image and question, which get processed in the model to generate a response.

4. Serving the Meal: Lastly, you taste your dish and serve it to guests. In our code, we print the result, similar to presenting your meal to impress your friends.

By breaking it down this way, you can appreciate the process of using the MiniCPM-Llama3-V model!

Troubleshooting

Like any new recipe, things might not turn out perfect on the first try. Here are some common issues and solutions:

– Error: `CUDA out of memory`: This usually happens when your GPU does not have enough memory to run the model. Consider using the int4 quantized version of the model which requires lower GPU memory. You may also need to check if you’re running multiple applications that consume GPU memory.

– Image Loading Issues: Ensure the image path is correct and that the image is in a supported format (like JPG). If not, adjust the path or convert the image format.

– Installation Issues: If you encounter problems while installing dependencies, check that you have the right versions of `pip` and Python. You may need an upgrade.
