CogVLM2

Model introduction

We launch a new generation of CogVLM2 series of models and open source two models built with Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct. Compared with the previous generation of CogVLM open source models, the CogVLM2 series of open source models have the following improvements:

1. Significant improvements in many benchmarks such as TextVQA, DocVQA.
2. Support 8K content length.
3. Support image resolution up to 1344 * 1344.
4. Provide an open source model version that supports both Chinese and English.

You can see the details of the CogVLM2 family of open source models in the table below:

Benchmark

Our open source models have achieved good results in many lists compared to the previous generation of CogVLM open source models. Its excellent performance can compete with some non-open source models, as shown in the table below:

All reviews were obtained without using any external OCR tools ("pixel only").

Quick Start

here is a simple example of how to use the model to chat with the CogVLM2 model. For More use case. Find in our github

from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

MODEL_PATH = "THUDM/cogvlm2-llama3-chat-19B"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    MODEL_PATH,
    trust_remote_code=True
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    MODEL_PATH,
    torch_dtype=TORCH_TYPE,
    trust_remote_code=True,
).to(DEVICE).eval()

        with torch.no_grad():

            outputs = outputs[:, inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]:]
            response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0])
            response = response.split("<|end_of_text|>")[0]
            print("\nCogVLM2:", response)
        history.append((query, response))
