| # d1-2B-MLX-4bit | |
| 4-bit MLX version of [d1-2B](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/d1-2B) for Apple Silicon. The weights take 1.35 GB. | |
| d1-2B is a decision model for text, pictures, and video. It answers named, typed questions over a state with calibrated probabilities in one forward pass, without generating tokens. | |
| The language model uses 4-bit affine quantization with groups of 64. The vision tower, projector and norms stay in FP16. Against the original checkpoint run in float32, it changed 3 of 52 test answers and moved probabilities by up to 0.25. Prefer [FP16](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/d1-2B-MLX-fp16) or [8-bit](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/d1-2B-MLX-8bit) where calibration matters. | |
| Find architecture and usage details in the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/d1-2B). | |
| ## Use with MLX-VLM | |
| <hr style="margin: -0.7em 0 1.2em 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid rgba(127, 127, 127, 0.3);" /> | |
| Support for d1 in [MLX-VLM](https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm) is in progress. We will update this card when an MLX-VLM release supports it. | |
| ```python | |
| from mlx_vlm import load | |
| from mlx_vlm.utils import load_image | |
| model, processor = load("LiquidAI/d1-2B-MLX-4bit") | |
| # Text: several named questions over one state, answered in one pass | |
| ticket = "I was charged twice and my parcel never arrived. Please refund one charge." | |
| out = model.system_one(ticket, { | |
| "refund": {"type": "noul", "instructions": "Is the customer asking for a refund?"}, | |
| "team": {"type": "choice", "instructions": "Which team should handle this?", | |
| "criteria": {"billing": "Charges, refunds, invoices", | |
| "shipping": "Delivery and parcels", | |
| "technical": "App or site faults"}}, | |
| "topics": {"type": "choice", "multiple": True, | |
| "instructions": "Which topics does the message raise?", | |
| "criteria": {"billing": "Payments and charges", | |
| "delivery": "Shipping and parcels", | |
| "login": "Signing in to the account"}}, | |
| "urgency": {"type": "score", "instructions": "How urgent is this ticket?", | |
| "criteria": ["low", "medium", "high"]}, | |
| }) | |
| a = out["answers"] | |
| print(round(a["refund"]["noul"], 2), a["team"]["choice"], a["topics"]["choices"], | |
| a["urgency"]["legend"][str(int(a["urgency"]["score"]))]) | |
| # 1.0 billing ['billing', 'delivery'] medium | |
| print(out["usage"]) | |
| # {'input_tokens': 189, 'output_tokens': 0} | |
| # Picture: the photo is the whole state | |
| image = load_image("http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg") | |
| out = model.system_one(None, { | |
| "cats": {"type": "number", "instructions": "How many cats are there?", "range": [0, 10], "step": 1}, | |
| "remote": {"type": "box", "instructions": "Where is the remote control on the left?"}, | |
| }, media=[image]) | |
| a = out["answers"] | |
| print(a["cats"]["number"], {k: round(v, 2) for k, v in a["remote"]["box"].items()}) | |
| # 2.0 {'top': 0.16, 'bottom': 0.24, 'left': 0.06, 'right': 0.28} | |
| ``` | |
| `model.system_one` returns `{"answers": {name: answer}, "usage": {...}}`, and `model.system_one_batch` takes several requests. The original model card describes every question type and answer field. | |
| From the command line, the answers print as JSON: | |
| ```bash | |
| python -m mlx_vlm decide --model LiquidAI/d1-2B-MLX-4bit \ | |
| --state "I was charged twice this month. Please refund one of the charges." \ | |
| --questions '{"refund": {"type": "noul", "instructions": "Is the customer asking for a refund?"}}' | |
| ``` | |
