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)
Constrained (Beam Search) Decoding
The constrain
function allows for structured generation, which can be useful for tasks like code generation, function calling, chain-of-thought prompting, or multiple-choice question answering.
from phi_3_vision_mlx import constrain
# Define the prompt
prompt = "Write a Python function to calculate the Fibonacci sequence up to a given number n."
# Define constraints
constraints = [
(100, "\n```python\n"), # Start of code block
(100, " return "), # Ensure a return statement
(200, "\n```"), # End of code block
]
# Apply constrained decoding using the 'constrain' function from phi_3_vision_mlx.
constrain(prompt, constraints)
The constrain
function can also guide the model to provide reasoning before concluding with an answer. This approach can be especially helpful for multiple-choice questions, such as those in the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, where the model's thought process is as crucial as its final selection.
prompts = [
"A 20-year-old woman presents with menorrhagia for the past several years. She says that her menses “have always been heavy”, and she has experienced easy bruising for as long as she can remember. Family history is significant for her mother, who had similar problems with bruising easily. The patient's vital signs include: heart rate 98/min, respiratory rate 14/min, temperature 36.1°C (96.9°F), and blood pressure 110/87 mm Hg. Physical examination is unremarkable. Laboratory tests show the following: platelet count 200,000/mm3, PT 12 seconds, and PTT 43 seconds. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s symptoms? A: Factor V Leiden B: Hemophilia A C: Lupus anticoagulant D: Protein C deficiency E: Von Willebrand disease",
"A 25-year-old primigravida presents to her physician for a routine prenatal visit. She is at 34 weeks gestation, as confirmed by an ultrasound examination. She has no complaints, but notes that the new shoes she bought 2 weeks ago do not fit anymore. The course of her pregnancy has been uneventful and she has been compliant with the recommended prenatal care. Her medical history is unremarkable. She has a 15-pound weight gain since the last visit 3 weeks ago. Her vital signs are as follows: blood pressure, 148/90 mm Hg; heart rate, 88/min; respiratory rate, 16/min; and temperature, 36.6℃ (97.9℉). The blood pressure on repeat assessment 4 hours later is 151/90 mm Hg. The fetal heart rate is 151/min. The physical examination is significant for 2+ pitting edema of the lower extremity. Which of the following tests o should confirm the probable condition of this patient? A: Bilirubin assessment B: Coagulation studies C: Hematocrit assessment D: Leukocyte count with differential E: 24-hour urine protein"
]
# Apply vanilla constrained decoding
constrain(prompts, constraints=[(30, ' The correct answer is'), (10, 'X.')], blind_model=True, quantize_model=True, use_beam=False)
# Apply constrained beam decoding (ACB)
constrain(prompts, constraints=[(30, ' The correct answer is'), (10, 'X.')], blind_model=True, quantize_model=True, use_beam=True)
The constraints encourage a structured response that includes the thought process, making the output more informative and transparent:
< Generated text for prompt #0 >
The most likely cause of this patient's menorrhagia and easy bruising is E: Von Willebrand disease. The correct answer is Von Willebrand disease.
< Generated text for prompt #1 >
The patient's hypertension, edema, and weight gain are concerning for preeclampsia. The correct answer is E: 24-hour urine protein.
Multiple Choice Selection
The choose
function provides a straightforward way to select the best option from a set of choices for a given prompt. This is particularly useful for multiple-choice questions or decision-making scenarios.
from phi_3_vision_mlx import choose
prompt = "What is the capital of France? A: London B: Berlin C: Paris D: Madrid E: Rome"
result = choose(prompt)
print(result) # Output: 'C'
# Using with custom choices
custom_prompt = "Which color is associated with stopping at traffic lights? R: Red Y: Yellow G: Green"
custom_result = choose(custom_prompt, choices='RYG')
print(custom_result) # Output: 'R'
# Batch processing
prompts = [
"What is the largest planet in our solar system? A: Earth B: Mars C: Jupiter D: Saturn",
"Which element has the chemical symbol 'O'? A: Osmium B: Oxygen C: Gold D: Silver"
]
batch_results = choose(prompts)
print(batch_results) # Output: ['C', 'B']
Model and Cache Quantization
# Model quantization
generate("Describe the water cycle.", quantize_model=True)
# Cache quantization
generate("Explain quantum computing.", quantize_cache=True)
