You usually only need to use temperature. +) + +# Print the generated response +print(response.choices[0].message.content) +``` + +This code sends messages, prompt and image, to the vision model and returns an answer based on your input. The `temperature`, `max_tokens`, and `top_p` parameters control the response's creativity, length, and diversity, respectively. + +A conversation style may include a default system prompt. You may set this prompt by setting the first message with the role system. For example: + +```python +[ + { + "role": "system", + "content": "You are Xavier Niel." + } +] +``` + +### Passing images to Pixtral + +1. **Image URLs**: If the image is available online, you can just include the image URL in your request as demonstrated above. This approach is simple and does not require any encoding. +2. **Base64 encoded**: image Base64 encoding is a standard way to transform binary data, like images, into a text format, making it easier to transmit over the internet. + +The following Python code sample shows you how to encode an image in base64 format and pass it to your request payload. + +```python +import base64 +from io import BytesIO +from PIL import Image + +def encode_image(img): + buffered = BytesIO() + img.save(buffered, format="JPEG") + encoded_string = base64.b64encode(buffered.getvalue()).decode("utf-8") + return encoded_string + +img = Image.open("path_to_your_image.jpg") +base64_img = encode_image(img) + +payload = { + "messages": [ + { + "role": "user", + "content": [ + { + "type": "text", + "text": "What is this image?" + }, + { + "type": "image_url", + "image_url": { + "url": f"data:image/jpeg;base64,{base64_img}" + } + } + ] + } + ], + ... # other parameters +} + +``` + +### Model parameters and their effects + +The following parameters will influence the output of the model: + +- **`messages`**: A list of message objects that represent the conversation history. Each message should have a `role` (e.g., "system", "user", "assistant") and `content`. The content is an array that can contain text and/or image objects. +- **`temperature`**: Controls the output's randomness. Lower values (e.g., 0.2) make the output more deterministic, while higher values (e.g., 0.8) make it more creative. +- **`max_tokens`**: The maximum number of tokens (words or parts of words) in the generated output. +- **`top_p`**: Recommended for advanced use cases only. You usually only need to use temperature. `top_p` controls the diversity of the output, using nucleus sampling, where the model considers the tokens with top probabilities until the cumulative probability reaches `top_p`. +- **`stop`**: A string or list of strings where the model will stop generating further tokens. This is useful for controlling the end of the output. + + + If you encounter an error such as "Forbidden 403" refer to the [API documentation](/ai-data/generative-apis/api-cli/understanding-errors) for troubleshooting tips. + + +## Streaming + +By default, the outputs are returned to the client only after the generation process is complete. However, a common alternative is to stream the results back to the client as they are generated. This is particularly useful in chat applications, where it allows the client to view the results incrementally as each token is produced. +Following is an example using the chat completions API: + +```python +from openai import OpenAI + +client = OpenAI( + base_url="https://api.scaleway.ai/v1", # Scaleway's Generative APIs service URL + api_key="" # Your unique API key from Scaleway +) +response = client.chat.completions.create( + model="pixtral-12b-2409", + messages=[{ + "role": "user", + "content": [ + {"type": "text", "text": "What is this image?"}, + {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://picsum.photos/id/32/512/512"}}, + ] + }], + stream=True, +) + +for chunk in response: + if chunk.choices[0].delta.content: + print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="") +``` + +## Async + +The service also supports asynchronous mode for any chat completion. + +```python + +import asyncio +from openai import AsyncOpenAI + +client = AsyncOpenAI( + base_url="https://api.scaleway.ai/v1", # Scaleway's Generative APIs service URL + api_key="" # Your unique API key from Scaleway +) + +async def main(): + stream = await client.chat.completions.create( + model="pixtral-12b-2409", + messages=[{ + "role": "user", + "content": [ + {"type": "text", "text": "What is this image?"}, + {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://picsum.photos/id/32/512/512"}}, + ] + }], + stream=True, + ) + async for chunk in stream: + print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="") + +asyncio.run(main()) +``` diff --git a/menu/navigation.json b/menu/navigation.json index 6236883e1f..b2644d999f 100644 --- a/menu/navigation.json +++ b/menu/navigation.json @@ -660,13 +660,17 @@ { "items": [ { - "label": "Query text models", - "slug": "query-text-models" + "label": "Query language models", + "slug": "query-language-models" }, { "label": "Query embedding models", "slug": "query-embedding-models" }, + { + "label": "Query vision models", + "slug": "query-vision-models" + }, { "label": "Use structured outputs", "slug": "use-structured-outputs"
