# Triangle104/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct-Q6_K-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct) for more details on the model.

Model details:
-
We're excited to unveil Qwen2-VL, the latest iteration of our Qwen-VL model, representing nearly a year of innovation.

What’s New in Qwen2-VL?

Key Enhancements:

SoTA understanding of images of various resolution & ratio: Qwen2-VL achieves state-of-the-art performance on visual understanding benchmarks, including MathVista, DocVQA, RealWorldQA, MTVQA, etc.

Understanding videos of 20min+: Qwen2-VL can understand videos over 20 minutes for high-quality video-based question answering, dialog, content creation, etc.

Agent that can operate your mobiles, robots, etc.: with the abilities of complex reasoning and decision making, Qwen2-VL can be integrated with devices like mobile phones, robots, etc., for automatic operation based on visual environment and text instructions.

Multilingual Support: to serve global users, besides English and Chinese, Qwen2-VL now supports the understanding of texts in different languages inside images, including most European languages, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Vietnamese, etc.

Model Architecture Updates:

Naive Dynamic Resolution: Unlike before, Qwen2-VL can handle arbitrary image resolutions, mapping them into a dynamic number of visual tokens, offering a more human-like visual processing experience.

Multimodal Rotary Position Embedding (M-ROPE): Decomposes positional embedding into parts to capture 1D textual, 2D visual, and 3D video positional information, enhancing its multimodal processing capabilities.

We have three models with 2, 7 and 72 billion parameters. This repo contains the instruction-tuned 7B Qwen2-VL model. For more information, visit our Blog and GitHub.

## Use with llama.cpp
Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

```bash
brew install llama.cpp

```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

### CLI:
```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file qwen2-vl-7b-instruct-q6_k.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

### Server:
```bash
llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file qwen2-vl-7b-instruct-q6_k.gguf -c 2048
```

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the [usage steps](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage) listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.
```
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with `LLAMA_CURL=1` flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).
```
cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make
```

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.
```
./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file qwen2-vl-7b-instruct-q6_k.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```
or 
```
./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file qwen2-vl-7b-instruct-q6_k.gguf -c 2048
```
