Phi-3-Vision on Apple silicon with MLX

Phi-3-MLX: Language and Vision Models for Apple Silicon

Phi-3-MLX is a versatile AI framework that leverages both the Phi-3-Vision multimodal model and the recently updated (July 2, 2024) Phi-3-Mini-128K language model, optimized for Apple Silicon using the MLX framework. This project provides an easy-to-use interface for a wide range of AI tasks, from advanced text generation to visual question answering and code execution.

Features

• Support for the newly updated Phi-3-Mini-128K (language-only) model
• Integration with Phi-3-Vision (multimodal) model
• Optimized performance on Apple Silicon using MLX
• Batched generation for processing multiple prompts
• Flexible agent system for various AI tasks
• Custom toolchains for specialized workflows
• Model quantization for improved efficiency
• LoRA fine-tuning capabilities
• API integration for extended functionality (e.g., image generation, text-to-speech)

Quick Start

Install and launch Phi-3-MLX from command line:

pip install phi-3-vision-mlx
phi3v

To instead use the library in a Python script:

from phi_3_vision_mlx import generate

1. Core Functionalities

Visual Question Answering

generate('What is shown in this image?', 'https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/344291/725918/main-image')

Batch Text Generation

# A list of prompts for batch generation
prompts = [
    "Explain the key concepts of quantum computing and provide a Rust code example demonstrating quantum superposition.",
    "Write a poem about the first snowfall of the year.",
    "Summarize the major events of the French Revolution.",
    "Describe a bustling alien marketplace on a distant planet with unique goods and creatures."
    "Implement a basic encryption algorithm in Python.",
]

# Generate responses using Phi-3-Vision (multimodal model)
generate(prompts, max_tokens=100)

# Generate responses using Phi-3-Mini-128K (language-only model)
generate(prompts, max_tokens=100, blind_model=True)

Model and Cache Quantization

# Model quantization
generate("Describe the water cycle.", quantize_model=True)

# Cache quantization
generate("Explain quantum computing.", quantize_cache=True)

LoRA Fine-tuning

Training a LoRA Adapter

from phi_3_vision_mlx import train_lora

train_lora(
    lora_layers=5,  # Number of layers to apply LoRA
    lora_rank=16,   # Rank of the LoRA adaptation
    epochs=10,      # Number of training epochs
    lr=1e-4,        # Learning rate
    warmup=0.5,     # Fraction of steps for learning rate warmup
    dataset_path="JosefAlbers/akemiH_MedQA_Reason"
)

Generating Text with LoRA

generate("Describe the potential applications of CRISPR gene editing in medicine.",
    blind_model=True,
    quantize_model=True,
    use_adapter=True)

Comparing LoRA Adapters

from phi_3_vision_mlx import test_lora

# Test model without LoRA adapter
test_lora(adapter_path=None)
# Output score: 0.6 (6/10)

# Test model with the trained LoRA adapter (using default path)
test_lora(adapter_path=True)
# Output score: 0.8 (8/10)

# Test model with a specific LoRA adapter path
test_lora(adapter_path="/path/to/your/lora/adapter")

2. Agentic Interactions

Multi-turn Conversation

from phi_3_vision_mlx import Agent

# Create an instance of the Agent
agent = Agent()

# First interaction: Analyze an image
agent('Analyze this image and describe the architectural style:', 'https://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/rl/original/DP-19531-075.jpg')

# Second interaction: Follow-up question
agent('What historical period does this architecture likely belong to?')

# End the conversation
# This clears the agent's memory and prepares it for a new conversation
agent.end()

Generative Feedback Loop

# Ask the agent to generate and execute code to create a plot
agent('Plot a Lissajous Curve.')

# Ask the agent to modify the generated code and create a new plot
agent('Modify the code to plot 3:4 frequency')
agent.end()

External API Tool Use

# Request the agent to generate an image
agent('Draw "A perfectly red apple, 32k HDR, studio lighting"')
agent.end()

# Request the agent to convert text to speech
agent('Speak "People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day."')
agent.end()

3. Custom Toolchains

Example 1. In-Context Learning Agent

from phi_3_vision_mlx import _load_text

# Create a custom tool named 'add_text'
def add_text(prompt):
    prompt, path = prompt.split('@')
    return f'{_load_text(path)}\n<|end|>\n<|user|>{prompt}'

# Define the toolchain as a string
toolchain = """
    prompt = add_text(prompt)
    responses = generate(prompt, images)
    """

# Create an Agent instance with the custom toolchain
agent = Agent(toolchain, early_stop=100)

# Run the agent
agent('How to inspect API endpoints? @https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gradio-app/gradio/main/guides/08_gradio-clients-and-lite/01_getting-started-with-the-python-client.md')

Example 2. Retrieval Augmented Coding Agent

from phi_3_vision_mlx import VDB
import datasets

# Simulate user input
user_input = 'Comparison of Sortino Ratio for Bitcoin and Ethereum.'

# Create a custom RAG tool
def rag(prompt, repo_id="JosefAlbers/sharegpt_python_mlx", n_topk=1):
    ds = datasets.load_dataset(repo_id, split='train')
    vdb = VDB(ds)
    context = vdb(prompt, n_topk)[0][0]
    return f'{context}\n<|end|>\n<|user|>Plot: {prompt}'

# Define the toolchain
toolchain_plot = """
    prompt = rag(prompt)
    responses = generate(prompt, images)
    files = execute(responses, step)
    """

# Create an Agent instance with the RAG toolchain
agent = Agent(toolchain_plot, False)

# Run the agent with the user input
_, images = agent(user_input)

Example 3. Multi-Agent Interaction

# Continued from Example 2 above
agent_writer = Agent(early_stop=100)
agent_writer(f'Write a stock analysis report on: {user_input}', images)
