Usage Examples

vLLM (recommended)

We recommend using Pixtral with the vLLM library to implement production-ready inference pipelines with Pixtral.

Installation

Make sure you install vLLM >= v0.6.2:

pip install --upgrade vllm

Also make sure you have mistral_common >= 1.4.4 installed:

pip install --upgrade mistral_common

You can also make use of a ready-to-go docker image.

Simple Example

from vllm import LLM
from vllm.sampling_params import SamplingParams

model_name = "mistralai/Pixtral-12B-2409"

sampling_params = SamplingParams(max_tokens=8192)

llm = LLM(model=model_name, tokenizer_mode="mistral")

prompt = "Describe this image in one sentence."
image_url = "https://picsum.photos/id/237/200/300"

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": prompt}, {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": image_url}}]
    },
]

outputs = llm.chat(messages, sampling_params=sampling_params)

print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

Advanced Example

You can also pass multiple images per message and/or pass multi-turn conversations

from vllm import LLM
from vllm.sampling_params import SamplingParams

model_name = "mistralai/Pixtral-12B-2409"
max_img_per_msg = 5

sampling_params = SamplingParams(max_tokens=8192, temperature=0.7)

# Lower max_num_seqs or max_model_len on low-VRAM GPUs.
llm = LLM(model=model_name, tokenizer_mode="mistral", limit_mm_per_prompt={"image": max_img_per_msg}, max_model_len=32768)

prompt = "Describe the following image."

url_1 = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/patrickvonplaten/random_img/resolve/main/yosemite.png"
url_2 = "https://picsum.photos/seed/picsum/200/300"
url_3 = "https://picsum.photos/id/32/512/512"

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": prompt}, {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": url_1}}, {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": url_2}}],
    },
    {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": "The images shows nature.",
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "More details please and answer only in French!."
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": url_3}}],
    }
]

outputs = llm.chat(messages=messages, sampling_params=sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

You can find more examples and tests directly in vLLM.

Server

You can also use pixtral in a server/client setting.

  1. Spin up a server:
vllm serve mistralai/Pixtral-12B-2409 --tokenizer_mode mistral --limit_mm_per_prompt 'image=4'
  1. And ping the client:
curl --location 'http://<your-node-url>:8000/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer token' \
--data '{
    "model": "mistralai/Pixtral-12B-2409",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type" : "text", "text": "Describe this image in detail please."},
            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/cms.ipressroom.com/338/files/201808/5b894ee1a138352221103195_A680%7Ejogging-edit/A680%7Ejogging-edit_hero.jpg"}},
            {"type" : "text", "text": "and this one as well. Answer in French."},
            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/resourcesystem/images/a0e/a0ee3983-46c6-4c92-b85d-059044639928/6af8cfb971db031b.png"}}
        ]
      }
    ]
  }'

Mistral-inference

We recommend using mistral-inference to quickly try out / "vibe-check" Pixtral.

Install

Make sure to have mistral_inference >= 1.4.1 installed.

pip install mistral_inference --upgrade

Download

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
from pathlib import Path

mistral_models_path = Path.home().joinpath('mistral_models', 'Pixtral')
mistral_models_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

snapshot_download(repo_id="mistralai/Pixtral-12B-2409", allow_patterns=["params.json", "consolidated.safetensors", "tekken.json"], local_dir=mistral_models_path)

Chat

After installing mistral_inference, a mistral-chat CLI command should be available in your environment. You can pass text and images or image urls to the model in instruction-following mode as follows:

mistral-chat $HOME/mistral_models/Pixtral --instruct --max_tokens 256 --temperature 0.35

E.g. Try out something like:

Text prompt: What can you see on the following picture?
[You can input zero, one or more images now.]
Image path or url [Leave empty and press enter to finish image input]: https://picsum.photos/id/237/200/300
Image path or url [Leave empty and press enter to finish image input]:
I see a black dog lying on a wooden surface. The dog appears to be looking up, and its eyes are clearly visible.

Python

You can also run the model in a Python shell as follows.

from mistral_inference.transformer import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate

from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage, TextChunk, ImageURLChunk
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest

tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.from_file(f"{mistral_models_path}/tekken.json")
model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/patrickvonplaten/random_img/resolve/main/yosemite.png"
prompt = "Describe the image."

completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(messages=[UserMessage(content=[ImageURLChunk(image_url=url), TextChunk(text=prompt)])])

encoded = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request)

images = encoded.images
tokens = encoded.tokens

out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, images=[images], max_tokens=256, temperature=0.35, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])

print(result)

Limitations

The Pixtral model does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.
