Libraries

How to use Zyphra/ZAYA1-VL-8B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="Zyphra/ZAYA1-VL-8B")
messages = [

        "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 AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Zyphra/ZAYA1-VL-8B", dtype="auto")

 ### Model Architecture
-ZAYA1-VL-8B builds upon and uses our [ZAYA1-8B LLM](https://huggingface.co/Zyphra/ZAYA1-base) as its base text encoder. We also use the [Qwen2.5-VL vision encoder](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/qwen2_5_vl) for the ViT. ZAYA1-VL-8B introduces two novel architectural innovations:
 * **Vision-specific LoRA parameters**: ZAYA1-VL-8B utilizes specialized LoRA parameters on its MLPs and CCA weights which are only activated on vision tokens. We find that adding vision-specific parameters substantially improves model performance since the model has the option to devote specific parameters solely to visual processing. We train these LoRA parameters alongside the main model parameters during training.
