Libraries

How to use SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

SynLayers Demo

This folder now contains a unified real-world inference demo:

demo/infer runs the fixed-prompt VLM caption + bbox detector.
infer/infer.py runs SynLayers decomposition with infer/infer.yaml.
demo/real_world_pipeline.py stitches the two stages together for one uploaded image.
demo/app.py provides a Gradio interface that can be used locally or adapted for a Hugging Face Space.

Full GPU Space

For a production Hugging Face Space, use GPU hardware and set:

SYNLAYERS_MODEL_REPO=SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b

This lets the Space:

load the bbox detector from your uploaded model repo root
load SynLayers Pipeline

Local Run

From the SynLayers root:

python demo/app.py

Or run the unified CLI directly:

python demo/real_world_pipeline.py \
  --image "/path/to/your/image.png"
