# PaliGemma

[PaliGemma](https://huggingface.co/papers/2407.07726) is a family of vision-language models (VLMs), combining [SigLIP](./siglip) with the [Gemma](./gemma) 2B model. PaliGemma is available in 3B, 10B, and 28B parameters. The main purpose of PaliGemma is to provide an adaptable base VLM that is easy to transfer to other tasks. The SigLIP vision encoder is a "shape optimized" contrastively pretrained [ViT](./vit) that converts an image into a sequence of tokens and prepended to an optional prompt. The Gemma 2B model is used as the decoder. PaliGemma uses full attention on all image and text tokens to maximize its capacity.

[PaliGemma 2](https://huggingface.co/papers/2412.03555) improves on the first model by using Gemma 2 (2B, 9B, and 27B parameter variants) as the decoder. These are available as **pt** or **mix** variants. The **pt** checkpoints are intended for further fine-tuning and the **mix** checkpoints are ready for use out of the box.

You can find all the original PaliGemma checkpoints under the [PaliGemma](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/paligemma-release-6643a9ffbf57de2ae0448dda), [PaliGemma 2](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/paligemma-2-release-67500e1e1dbfdd4dee27ba48), and [PaliGemma 2 Mix](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/paligemma-2-mix-67ac6a251aaf3ee73679dcc4) collections.

> Click on the PaliGemma models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply PaliGemma to different vision and language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text based on an image with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline) or the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel) class.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="image-text-to-text",
    model="google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224",
    device=0,
)
pipeline(
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg",
    text="What is in this image?"
)
```

```python
import requests
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration

model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224",
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="sdpa"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224",
)

prompt = "What is in this image?"
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(image, prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

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 [torchao](../quantization/torchao) to only quantize the weights to int4.

```python
# pip install torchao
import requests
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration, TorchAoConfig

quantization_config = TorchAoConfig("int4_weight_only", group_size=128)
model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-28b-mix-224",
    device_map="auto",
    quantization_config=quantization_config
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "google/paligemma2-28b-mix-224",
)

prompt = "What is in this image?"
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(image, prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

Use the [AttentionMaskVisualizer](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/beb9b5b02246b9b7ee81ddf938f93f44cfeaad19/src/transformers/utils/attention_visualizer.py#L139) to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.

```python
from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer

visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("google/paligemma2-3b-mix-224")
visualizer("<img> What is in this image?")
```

    

## Notes

- PaliGemma is not a conversational model and works best when fine-tuned for specific downstream tasks such as image captioning, visual question answering (VQA), object detection, and document understanding.
- [PaliGemmaProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaProcessor) can prepare images, text, and optional labels for the model. Pass the `suffix` parameter to the processor to create labels for the model during fine-tuning.

    ```py
    prompt = "What is in this image?"
    answer = "a pallas cat"
    inputs = processor(images=image, text=prompt, suffix=answer, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
    ```

- PaliGemma can support multiple input images if it is fine-tuned to accept multiple images. For example, the [NLVR2](https://huggingface.co/google/paligemma-3b-ft-nlvr2-448) checkpoint supports multiple images. Pass the images as a list to the processor.

    ```py
    import torch
    import requests
    from PIL import Image
    from transformers import TorchAoConfig, AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration

    model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("google/paligemma-3b-ft-nlvr2-448", device_map="auto")
    processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/paligemma-3b-ft-nlvr2-448")

    prompt = "Are these two images the same?"
    cat_image = Image.open(
        requests.get("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg", stream=True).raw
    )
    cow_image = Image.open(
        requests.get(
            "https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1192867753/photo/cow-in-berchida-beach-siniscola.jpg?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=v0hjjniwsMNfJSuKWZuIn8pssmD5h5bSN1peBd1CmH4=", stream=True
        ).raw
    )

    inputs = processor(images=[[cat_image, cow_image]], text=prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

    output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20, cache_implementation="static")
    print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
    ```

#### transformers.PaliGemmaModel[[transformers.PaliGemmaModel]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/paligemma/modeling_paligemma.py#L122)

The Base Paligemma model which consists of a vision backbone and a language model without language modeling head.,

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

forwardtransformers.PaliGemmaModel.forwardhttps://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/paligemma/modeling_paligemma.py#L184[{"name": "input_ids", "val": ": torch.LongTensor | None = None"}, {"name": "pixel_values", "val": ": torch.FloatTensor | None = None"}, {"name": "attention_mask", "val": ": torch.Tensor | None = None"}, {"name": "position_ids", "val": ": torch.LongTensor | None = None"}, {"name": "past_key_values", "val": ": transformers.cache_utils.Cache | None = None"}, {"name": "token_type_ids", "val": ": torch.LongTensor | None = None"}, {"name": "inputs_embeds", "val": ": torch.FloatTensor | None = None"}, {"name": "labels", "val": ": torch.LongTensor | None = None"}, {"name": "use_cache", "val": ": bool | None = None"}, {"name": "**kwargs", "val": ": typing_extensions.Unpack[transformers.modeling_flash_attention_utils.FlashAttentionKwargs]"}]- **input_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **pixel_values** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)`, *optional*) --
  The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using
  [SiglipImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/siglip#transformers.SiglipImageProcessor). See `SiglipImageProcessor.__call__()` for details ([PaliGemmaProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaProcessor) uses
  [SiglipImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/siglip#transformers.SiglipImageProcessor) for processing images).
- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **token_type_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 0 corresponds to a *sentence A* token,
  - 1 corresponds to a *sentence B* token.

  [What are token type IDs?](../glossary#token-type-ids)
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.text_config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.text_config.vocab_size]`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).0`PaligemmaModelOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A `PaligemmaModelOutputWithPast` or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([PaliGemmaConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaConfig)) and inputs.
The [PaliGemmaModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

- **last_hidden_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) -- Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and optionally if
  `config.is_encoder_decoder=True` in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values`
  input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple[torch.FloatTensor, ...]`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple[torch.FloatTensor, ...]`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.
- **image_hidden_states** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) -- A `torch.FloatTensor` of size `(batch_size, num_images, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.
  image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder and after projecting the last hidden state.

The Base Paligemma model which consists of a vision backbone and a language model without language modeling head.,

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **pixel_values** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)`, *optional*) --
  The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using
  [SiglipImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/siglip#transformers.SiglipImageProcessor). See `SiglipImageProcessor.__call__()` for details ([PaliGemmaProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaProcessor) uses
  [SiglipImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/siglip#transformers.SiglipImageProcessor) for processing images).
- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **token_type_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 0 corresponds to a *sentence A* token,
  - 1 corresponds to a *sentence B* token.

  [What are token type IDs?](../glossary#token-type-ids)
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.text_config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.text_config.vocab_size]`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, *optional*, defaults to `0`) --
  If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all
  `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that
  token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.
  If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension.
  This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0`PaliGemmaCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A `PaliGemmaCausalLMOutputWithPast` or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([PaliGemmaConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaConfig)) and inputs.
The [PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.text_config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
- **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks) that can be used (see
  `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple[torch.FloatTensor]`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple[torch.FloatTensor]`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.
- **image_hidden_states** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) -- A `torch.FloatTensor` of size `(batch_size, num_images, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.
  image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder after projecting last hidden state.

```

**Parameters:**

config ([PaliGemmaConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/paligemma#transformers.PaliGemmaConfig)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**

``PaliGemmaCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)``
