Usage
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"vikhyatk/moondream2",
revision="2025-04-14",
trust_remote_code=True,
# Uncomment to run on GPU.
# device_map={"": "cuda"}
)
# Captioning
print("Short caption:")
print(model.caption(image, length="short")["caption"])
print("\nNormal caption:")
for t in model.caption(image, length="normal", stream=True)["caption"]:
# Streaming generation example, supported for caption() and detect()
print(t, end="", flush=True)
print(model.caption(image, length="normal"))
# Visual Querying
print("\nVisual query: 'How many people are in the image?'")
print(model.query(image, "How many people are in the image?")["answer"])
# Object Detection
print("\nObject detection: 'face'")
objects = model.detect(image, "face")["objects"]
print(f"Found {len(objects)} face(s)")
# Pointing
print("\nPointing: 'person'")
points = model.point(image, "person")["points"]
