PaliGemma

PaliGemma is a family of vision-language models (VLMs), combining SigLIP with the Gemma 2B model. PaliGemma is available in 3B, 10B, and 28B parameters. The main purpose of PaliGemma is to provide an adaptable base VLM that is easy to transfer to other tasks. The SigLIP vision encoder is a "shape optimized" contrastively pretrained ViT that converts an image into a sequence of tokens and prepended to an optional prompt. The Gemma 2B model is used as the decoder. PaliGemma uses full attention on all image and text tokens to maximize its capacity.

PaliGemma 2 improves on the first model by using Gemma 2 (2B, 9B, and 27B parameter variants) as the decoder. These are available as pt or mix variants. The pt checkpoints are intended for further fine-tuning and the mix checkpoints are ready for use out of the box.

You can find all the original PaliGemma checkpoints under the PaliGemma, PaliGemma 2, and PaliGemma 2 Mix collections.

[!TIP] Click on the PaliGemma models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply PaliGemma to different vision and language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text based on an image with [Pipeline] or the [AutoModel] class.

python

from transformers import pipeline


pipeline = pipeline(
    task="image-text-to-text",
    model="google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224",
    device=0,
)
pipeline(
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg",
    text="What is in this image?"
)

</hfoption> <hfoption id="AutoModel">

python

import requests
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration


model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224",
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="sdpa"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224",
)

prompt = "What is in this image?"
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(image, prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

</hfoption> </hfoptions>

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the Quantization overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses torchao to only quantize the weights to int4.

python

# pip install torchao
import requests
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration, TorchAoConfig


quantization_config = TorchAoConfig("int4_weight_only", group_size=128)
model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-28b-mix-224",
    device_map="auto",
    quantization_config=quantization_config
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-28b-mix-224",
)

prompt = "What is in this image?"
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(image, prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Use the AttentionMaskVisualizer to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.

python

from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer


visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224")
visualizer(" What is in this image?")

Notes

PaliGemma is not a conversational model and works best when fine-tuned for specific downstream tasks such as image captioning, visual question answering (VQA), object detection, and document understanding.
[PaliGemmaProcessor] can prepare images, text, and optional labels for the model. Pass the suffix parameter to the processor to create labels for the model during fine-tuning.
py
```
prompt = "What is in this image?"
answer = "a pallas cat"
inputs = processor(images=image, text=prompt, suffix=answer, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
```

PaliGemma can support multiple input images if it is fine-tuned to accept multiple images. For example, the NLVR2 checkpoint supports multiple images. Pass the images as a list to the processor.

import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import TorchAoConfig, AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration

model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("google/paligemma-3b-ft-nlvr2-448", device_map="auto")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/paligemma-3b-ft-nlvr2-448")

prompt = "Are these two images the same?"
cat_image = Image.open(
    requests.get("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg", stream=True).raw
)
cow_image = Image.open(
    requests.get(
        "https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1192867753/photo/cow-in-berchida-beach-siniscola.jpg?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=v0hjjniwsMNfJSuKWZuIn8pssmD5h5bSN1peBd1CmH4=", stream=True
    ).raw
)

inputs = processor(images=[[cat_image, cow_image]], text=prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
