Libraries

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM-V-2_6 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="openbmb/MiniCPM-V-2_6", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [

            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM-V-2_6", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

Fix for ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes

When we run the video chat example with transformers==4.49.0, we get this error:

ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (336,602,3) (3,3)

The root cause of the problem is a change in the transformers library (https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/commit/a142f161313199bcfa67afe1990d1f0f39a973bb) which changed the execution path inside of the normalize() functions for inputs that are numpy arrays.

To fix this issue downgrade your transformers version. For us transformers==4.47.1 works fine, but a newer version might also do fine.

I'm currently faced with the same issue. I tried downgrading the transformers to various versions, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Could there be any other fixes?
