deepseek-ai/deepseek-vl-7b-base

1. Introduction

Introducing DeepSeek-VL, an open-source Vision-Language (VL) Model designed for real-world vision and language understanding applications. DeepSeek-VL possesses general multimodal understanding capabilities, capable of processing logical diagrams, web pages, formula recognition, scientific literature, natural images, and embodied intelligence in complex scenarios.

2. Model Summary

DeepSeek-VL-7b-base uses the SigLIP-L and SAM-B as the hybrid vision encoder supporting 1024 x 1024 image input and is constructed based on the DeepSeek-LLM-7b-base which is trained on an approximate corpus of 2T text tokens. The whole DeepSeek-VL-7b-base model is finally trained around 400B vision-language tokens.

3. Quick Start

Installation

On the basis of Python >= 3.8 environment, install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-VL
cd DeepSeek-VL

pip install -e .

Simple Inference Example

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

from deepseek_vl.models import VLChatProcessor, MultiModalityCausalLM
from deepseek_vl.utils.io import load_pil_images


# specify the path to the model
model_path = "deepseek-ai/deepseek-vl-7b-base"
vl_chat_processor: VLChatProcessor = VLChatProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path)
tokenizer = vl_chat_processor.tokenizer

vl_gpt: MultiModalityCausalLM = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)
vl_gpt = vl_gpt.to(torch.bfloat16).cuda().eval()

conversation = [
    {
        "role": "User",
        "content": "<image_placeholder>Describe each stage of this image.",
        "images": ["./images/training_pipelines.png"]
    },
    {
        "role": "Assistant",
        "content": ""
    }
]

# load images and prepare for inputs
pil_images = load_pil_images(conversation)
prepare_inputs = vl_chat_processor(
    conversations=conversation,
    images=pil_images,
    force_batchify=True
).to(vl_gpt.device)

# run image encoder to get the image embeddings
inputs_embeds = vl_gpt.prepare_inputs_embeds(**prepare_inputs)

# run the model to get the response
outputs = vl_gpt.language_model.generate(
    inputs_embeds=inputs_embeds,
    attention_mask=prepare_inputs.attention_mask,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    bos_token_id=tokenizer.bos_token_id,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=False,
    use_cache=True
)

answer = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0].cpu().tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True)
print(f"{prepare_inputs['sft_format'][0]}", answer)
