🤖 vllm Inference

See inference_vllm.ipynb for vllm inference.

To leverage multiple GPUs for faster inference, you can adjust the gpu_num parameter

⚡ API Calling

Run python3 api.py by providing a screenshot and a query.

Since we are based on huggingface gradio client, you don't need a GPU to deploy the model locally 🤗

🖥️ Computer Use

See Computer Use OOTB for using ShowUI to control your PC.

⭐ Quick Start

See Quick Start for local model usage.

🤗 Local Gradio

See Gradio for installation.

🚀 Training

Our Training codebases supports:

• Grounding and Navigation training: Mind2Web, AITW, Miniwob
• Self-customized model: ShowUI, Qwen2VL, Qwen2.5VL
• Efficient Training: DeepSpeed, BF16, QLoRA, SDPA / FlashAttention2, Liger-Kernel
• Multiple datasets mixed training
• Interleaved data streaming
• Image randomly resize (crop, pad)
• Wandb training monitor
• Multi-GPUs, Multi-nodes training

See Train for training set up.

🕹️ UI-Guided Token Selection

Try test.ipynb, which seamless support for Qwen2VL models.

✍️ Annotate your own data

Try recaption.ipynb, where we provide instructions on how to recaption the original annotations using GPT-4o.
