Libraries

How to use ChartFoundation/ECD_Finetuned_MLLMs with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="ChartFoundation/ECD_Finetuned_MLLMs")

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("ChartFoundation/ECD_Finetuned_MLLMs", device_map="auto")

		"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
		"max_tokens": 512,
		"temperature": 0.5
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/ChartFoundation/ECD_Finetuned_MLLMs

SGLang

How to use ChartFoundation/ECD_Finetuned_MLLMs with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model
