A [llamafile](https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile) generated for [moondream2](https://huggingface.co/vikhyatk/moondream2)

Big thanks to [@jartine](https://huggingface.co/jartine) and [@vikhyat](https://huggingface.co/vikhyatk/moondream2) for their respective works on llamafile and moondream

## How to Run (on macos and linux)


1. Download moondream2.llamafile
2. `chmod +x moondream2.llamafile` - make it executable
3. `./moondream2.llamafile` - run the llama.cpp server

## Versions

1. [Q5_M](https://huggingface.co/cjpais/moondream2-llamafile/resolve/main/moondream2-q5_k.llamafile?download=true)
2. [Q8_0](https://huggingface.co/cjpais/moondream2-llamafile/resolve/main/moondream2-q8.llamafile?download=true)

From my short testing the Q8 is noticeably better.

# ORIGINAL MODEL CARD

moondream2 is a small vision language model designed to run efficiently on edge devices. Check out the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/vikhyat/moondream) for details, or try it out on the [Hugging Face Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/vikhyatk/moondream2)!

**Usage**

```bash
pip install transformers einops
```

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image

model_id = "vikhyatk/moondream2"
revision = "2024-04-02"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id, trust_remote_code=True, revision=revision
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, revision=revision)

image = Image.open('<IMAGE_PATH>')
enc_image = model.encode_image(image)
print(model.answer_question(enc_image, "Describe this image.", tokenizer))
```

The model is updated regularly, so we recommend pinning the model version to a
specific release as shown above.
