💡 VideoChat-R1_7B_caption
🚀 How to use the model
We provide a simple installation example below:
pip install transformers
pip install qwen_vl_utils
Then you could use our model:
from transformers import Qwen2_VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor
from qwen_vl_utils import process_vision_info
model_path = "OpenGVLab/VideoChat-R1_7B_caption"
# default: Load the model on the available device(s)
model = Qwen2_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
model_path, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto",
attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"
)
# default processer
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path)
video_path = "your_video.mp4"
question = "Describe the video in detail."
messages = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "video",
"video": video_path,
"max_pixels": 360 * 420,
"fps": 1.0,
},
{"type": "text", "text": f""""{question} First output the thinking process in <think> </think> tags and then output the final answer in <answer> </answer> tags"""},
],
}
]
#In Qwen 2 VL, frame rate information is also input into the model to align with absolute time.
# Preparation for inference
text = processor.apply_chat_template(
messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)
image_inputs, video_inputs, video_kwargs = process_vision_info(messages, return_video_kwargs=True)
inputs = processor(
text=[text],
images=image_inputs,
videos=video_inputs,
padding=True,
return_tensors="pt",
**video_kwargs,
)
inputs = inputs.to("cuda")
# Inference
generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
generated_ids_trimmed = [
out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
output_text = processor.batch_decode(
generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)
print(output_text)
