# Pixtral

[Pixtral](https://huggingface.co/papers/2410.07073) is a multimodal model trained to understand natural images and documents. It accepts images in their natural resolution and aspect ratio without resizing or padding due to it's 2D RoPE embeddings. In addition, Pixtral has a long 128K token context window for processing a large number of images. Pixtral couples a 400M vision encoder with a 12B Mistral Nemo decoder.

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to quantize the model to 4-bits.

```python
import requests
import torch
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoProcessor, BitsAndBytesConfig, LlavaForConditionalGeneration


model_id = "mistral-community/pixtral-12b"

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)

model = LlavaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    quantization_config=quantization_config,
    device_map="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)

dog_url = "https://picsum.photos/id/237/200/300"
mountain_url = "https://picsum.photos/seed/picsum/200/300"
dog_image = Image.open(requests.get(dog_url, stream=True).raw)
mountain_image = Image.open(requests.get(mountain_url, stream=True).raw)

chat = [
    {
      "role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "text", "text": "Can this animal"},
        {"type": "image"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "live here?"},
        {"type": "image"}
      ]
    }
]

prompt = processor.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=[dog_image, mountain_image], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

inputs["pixel_values"] = inputs["pixel_values"].to(model.dtype)
inputs = {k: v.to(model.device) for k, v in inputs.items()}

generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
output = processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)
print(output)
```

## Notes

- Pixtral uses [`PixtralVisionModel`] as the vision encoder and [`MistralForCausalLM`]  for its language decoder.
- The model internally replaces `[IMG]` token placeholders with image embeddings.

    ```py
    "<s>[INST][IMG]\nWhat are the things I should be cautious about when I visit this place?[/INST]"
    ```

    The `[IMG]` tokens are replaced with a number of `[IMG]` tokens that depend on the height and width of each image. Each row of the image is separated by a `[IMG_BREAK]` token and each image is separated by a `[IMG_END]` token. Use the [`~Processor.apply_chat_template`] method to handle these tokens for you.
