Libraries

How to use EZCon/FastVLM-1.5B-4bit-mlx with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-vlm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-vlm

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
from mlx_vlm.utils import load_config

# Load the model
model, processor = load("EZCon/FastVLM-1.5B-4bit-mlx")
config = load_config("EZCon/FastVLM-1.5B-4bit-mlx")

# Prepare input
image = ["http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"]
prompt = "Describe this image."

# Apply chat template
formatted_prompt = apply_chat_template(
    processor, config, prompt, num_images=1
)

# Generate output
output = generate(model, processor, formatted_prompt, image)
print(output)

Transformers

How to use EZCon/FastVLM-1.5B-4bit-mlx with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="EZCon/FastVLM-1.5B-4bit-mlx", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",

            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("EZCon/FastVLM-1.5B-4bit-mlx", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")
