The CogAgent-chat-18B model is a remarkable product of the AI realm, finetuned with 160K WebSight examples. With a unique structure based on the SAT (SwissArmyTransformer), it provides a rich framework for running inference tasks. This guide walks you through how to effectively use this powerful model.

What You Will Need

• Python installed on your machine
• The necessary libraries: torch, argparse, tqdm, etc.
• Access to your test data
• Proper directories for predictions

Setting Up Your Environment

Before diving into the code, ensure that your environment is properly set up.

Step 1: Import Necessary Libraries

First things first, you need to import the libraries that will facilitate interaction with the CogAgent. Think of these as the toolbox you need to tackle your project.

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, path_to_CogVLM)
from sat.model import AutoModel
import argparse
from utils.models import CogAgentModel, CogVLMModel, FineTuneTestCogAgentModel
import torch
from sat.model.mixins import CachedAutoregressiveMixin
from tqdm import tqdm
import os

Step 2: Prepare Your Arguments

Next, we will set up the arguments just like a chef gathers his ingredients before cooking. This ensures that each aspect of the process is accounted for and will run smoothly.

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--temperature", type=float, default=0.5)
parser.add_argument("--repetition_penalty", type=float, default=1.1)
args = parser.parse_args()
args.bf16 = True
args.stream_chat = False
args.version = chat

Step 3: Managing the Dataset

Now, let’s manage the dataset as if we’re organizing a library. This part of the code ensures that the directories for predictions exist, just like ensuring books are neatly placed on shelves.

data_dir = path_to_Design2Code
predictions_dir = path_to_design2code_18b_v0_predictions

if not os.path.exists(predictions_dir):
    try:
        os.makedirs(predictions_dir)
    except:
        pass

filename_list = [filename for filename in os.listdir(data_dir) if filename.endswith(".png")]

Generating Predictions

With everything set up, it’s time to generate predictions. This can be thought of as the penultimate step in crafting our masterpiece. Below we load the model and run inference on our test dataset.

model, model_args = FineTuneTestCogAgentModel.from_pretrained(
    f'path_to_design2code-18b-v0',
    args=argparse.Namespace(
        deepspeed=None,
        local_rank=0,
        rank=0,
        world_size=1,
        model_parallel_size=1,
        mode="inference",
        skip_init=True,
        use_gpu_initialization=True,
        device="cuda",
        bf16=True,
        fp16=None),
    overwrite_args={'model_parallel_size': world_size} if world_size != 1 else {})

model = model.eval()
model.add_mixin(auto_regressive, CachedAutoregressiveMixin())

Processing the Data

Finally, we will process the images and generate the HTML output for each prediction. Imagine this is the final step where we frame our artwork before displaying it.

for filename in tqdm(filename_list):
    image_path = os.path.join(data_dir, filename)
    generated_text = get_html(image_path)
    
    with open(os.path.join(predictions_dir, filename.replace(".png", ".html")), "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
        f.write(generated_text)

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the usage of the CogAgent-chat-18B model, here are some tips to help you troubleshoot:

• Ensure that all dependencies are installed. You can run pip install -r requirements.txt if a requirements file is provided.
• Verify your dataset paths. A common issue is pointing to incorrect directories.
• Check that your Python version is compatible with the libraries you’re using.
• For GPU usage, ensure that CUDA is properly installed and configured for your system.
