Instructions to use HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-base with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-base with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-base")

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-base")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-base")
