# Molmo 7B-O
Molmo is a family of open vision-language models developed by the Allen Institute for AI.
Molmo models are trained on PixMo, a dataset of 1 million, highly-curated image-text pairs.
It has state-of-the-art performance among multimodal models with a similar size while being fully open-source.
You can find all models in the Molmo family [here](https://huggingface.co/collections/allenai/molmo-66f379e6fe3b8ef090a8ca19).
**Learn more** about the Molmo family [in our announcement blog post](https://molmo.allenai.org/blog) or the [paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2409.17146).
Molmo 7B-O is based on [OLMo-7B-1024](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B-1024-preview) (a **preview** of next generation of OLMo models)
and uses [OpenAI CLIP](https://huggingface.co/openai/clip-vit-large-patch14-336) as vision backbone.
It performs comfortably between GPT-4V and GPT-4o on both academic benchmarks and human evaluation.
This checkpoint is a **preview** of the Molmo release. All artifacts used in creating Molmo (PixMo dataset, training code, evaluations, intermediate checkpoints) will be made available at a later date, furthering our commitment to open-source AI development and reproducibility.

## Quick Start
To run Molmo, first install dependencies:
```bash
pip install einops torchvision
```
Then, follow these steps:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor, GenerationConfig
from PIL import Image
import requests
# load the processor
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
'allenai/Molmo-7B-O-0924',
trust_remote_code=True,
torch_dtype='auto',
device_map='auto'
)
# load the model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
'allenai/Molmo-7B-O-0924',
trust_remote_code=True,
torch_dtype='auto',
device_map='auto'
)
# process the image and text
inputs = processor.process(
images=[Image.open(requests.get("https://picsum.photos/id/237/536/354", stream=True).raw)],
text="Describe this image."
)
# move inputs to the correct device and make a batch of size 1
inputs = {k: v.to(model.device).unsqueeze(0) for k, v in inputs.items()}
# generate output; maximum 200 new tokens; stop generation when <|endoftext|> is generated
output = model.generate_from_batch(
inputs,
GenerationConfig(max_new_tokens=200, stop_strings="<|endoftext|>"),
tokenizer=processor.tokenizer
)
# only get generated tokens; decode them to text
generated_tokens = output[0,inputs['input_ids'].size(1):]
generated_text = processor.tokenizer.decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# print the generated text
print(generated_text)
# >>> This photograph captures an adorable black Labrador puppy sitting on a weathered
# wooden deck. The deck's planks, which are a mix of light and dark brown with ...
```
To make inference more efficient, run with autocast:
```python
with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda", enabled=True, dtype=torch.bfloat16):
output = model.generate_from_batch(
inputs,
GenerationConfig(max_new_tokens=200, stop_strings="<|endoftext|>"),
tokenizer=processor.tokenizer
)
```
We did most of our evaluations in this setting (autocast on, but float32 weights)
To even further reduce the memory requirements, the model can be run with bfloat16 weights:
```python
model.to(dtype=torch.bfloat16)
inputs["images"] = inputs["images"].to(torch.bfloat16)
output = model.generate_from_batch(
inputs,
GenerationConfig(max_new_tokens=200, stop_strings="<|endoftext|>"),
tokenizer=processor.tokenizer
)
```
Note that this can sometimes change the output of the model compared to running with float32 weights.

## FAQs
### I'm getting an error a broadcast error when processing images!
Your image might not be in RGB format. You can convert it using the following code snippet:
```python
from PIL import Image
image = Image.open(...)
if image.mode != "RGB":
image = image.convert("RGB")
```
### Molmo doesn't work great with transparent images!
We received reports that Molmo models might struggle with transparent images.
For the time being, we recommend adding a white or dark background to your images before passing them to the model. The code snippet below shows how to do this using the Python Imaging Library (PIL):
```python
# Load the image
url = "..."
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
# Convert the image to grayscale to calculate brightness
gray_image = image.convert('L') # Convert to grayscale
# Calculate the average brightness
stat = ImageStat.Stat(gray_image)
average_brightness = stat.mean[0] # Get the average value
# Define background color based on brightness (threshold can be adjusted)
bg_color = (0, 0, 0) if average_brightness > 127 else (255, 255, 255)
# Create a new image with the same size as the original, filled with the background color
new_image = Image.new('RGB', image.size, bg_color)
# Paste the original image on top of the background (use image as a mask if needed)
new_image.paste(image, (0, 0), image if image.mode == 'RGBA' else None)
# Now you can pass the new_image to Molmo
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
'allenai/Molmo-7B-D-0924',
trust_remote_code=True,
torch_dtype='auto',
device_map='auto'
)
```
