  SmolVLM is a compact open multimodal model that accepts arbitrary sequences of image and text inputs to produce text outputs. Designed for efficiency, SmolVLM can answer questions about images, describe visual content, create stories grounded on multiple images, or function as a pure language model without visual inputs. Its lightweight architecture makes it suitable for on-device applications while maintaining strong performance on multimodal tasks.

  SmolVLM leverages the lightweight SmolLM2 language model to provide a compact yet powerful multimodal experience. It introduces several changes compared to previous models:
42
 
43
- - Image compression: We introduce a more radical image compression compared to Idefics3 to enable the model to infer faster and use less RAM.
44
- - Visual Token Encoding: It uses 81 visual tokens to encode image patches of size 384*384. Larger images are divided into patches, each encoded separately, enhancing efficiency without compromising performance.

52
 
53
+ You can use transformers to load, infer and fine-tune SmolVLM.
54
+
55
  ```python
56
  import torch
57
  from PIL import Image
 
112
  **Precision**: For better performance, load and run the model in half-precision (`torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`) if your hardware supports it.

  ```python
115

116
+ import torch
117
+
118

119
  "HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM-Instruct",
120
  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
121
+ ).to("cuda")
122
+ ```
123
+
124
+ You can also load SmolVLM with 4/8-bit quantization using bitsandbytes, torchao or Quanto. Refer to [this page](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/main_classes/quantization) for other options.
125

126
+ ```python
127
+ from transformers import AutoModelForVision2Seq, BitsAndBytesConfig
128
+ import torch
129
+
130
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
131
+ model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(
132
+ "HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM-Instruct",
133
