PaliGemma

Overview

The PaliGemma model was proposed in PaliGemma – Google's Cutting-Edge Open Vision Language Model by Google. It is a 3B vision-language model composed by a SigLIP vision encoder and a Gemma language decoder linked by a multimodal linear projection. It cuts an image into a fixed number of VIT tokens and prepends it to an optional prompt. One particularity is that the model uses full block attention on all the image tokens plus the input text tokens. It comes in 3 resolutions, 224x224, 448x448 and 896x896 with 3 base models, with 55 fine-tuned versions for different tasks, and 2 mix models.

Usage tips

Inference with PaliGemma can be performed as follows:

from transformers import AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration

model_id = "google/paligemma-3b-mix-224"
model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_id)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)

prompt = "What is on the flower?"
image_file = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/bee.jpg?download=true"
raw_image = Image.open(requests.get(image_file, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(prompt, raw_image, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)

print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)[len(prompt):])

• PaliGemma is not meant for conversational use, and it works best when fine-tuning to a specific use case. Some downstream tasks on which PaliGemma can be fine-tuned include image captioning, visual question answering (VQA), object detection, referring expression segmentation and document understanding.
• One can use PaliGemmaProcessor to prepare images, text and optional labels for the model. When fine-tuning a PaliGemma model, the suffix argument can be passed to the processor which creates the labels for the model:

prompt = "What is on the flower?"
answer = "a bee"
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=raw_image, suffix=answer, return_tensors="pt")
