Libraries

How to use IDEA-Research/RexSeek-3B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="IDEA-Research/RexSeek-3B", trust_remote_code=True)
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 AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("IDEA-Research/RexSeek-3B", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

Improve model card with metadata and project link

Browse files

This PR adds the necessary metadata to the model card, including the `license`, `pipeline_tag`, and `library_name`. It also ensures a link to the project page is present. This improves discoverability and usability of the model on the Hugging Face Hub.
