# SynLayers
This repository contains the assets behind SynLayers, our two-stage image decomposition system.
At the root is the bbox-caption model. Given one image, it predicts:
- a whole-image caption
- bounding boxes for visible objects or layers
The same repo also includes the Stage 2 SynLayers pipeline to do layer decomposition.
If you want the easiest way to try the full system, please use our public demo:
[SynLayers/synlayers](https://huggingface.co/spaces/SynLayers/synlayers)
This repo is not meant to be used as a single generic `DiffusionPipeline(prompt)` model.
The full SynLayers pipeline is:
1. bbox + whole-caption prediction
2. layer decomposition into transparent RGBA outputs
If you only want the Stage 1 model at the repo root, you can load it with `transformers`.
```python
from transformers import AutoProcessor, Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration
model = Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
"SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b",
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto",
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b")
```
