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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Unable to Access or Cancel Access Request for Meta’s Gated Repositories

#115

Hi Meta team,

I’m writing to report an ongoing issue with access requests for several of your gated model repositories. My access requests for the following repos have been pending for over six months:

•	Meta’s Llama 3.3 models & evals
•	Meta’s Llama 3.2 multimodal models
•	Meta’s Llama 3.1 models & evals

Despite the extended wait, the requests remain in a pending state. Additionally, when I attempt to cancel these requests in order to re-submit them, I receive the error:

“Failed to cancel access request!”

For reference, I do have access to the Meta Llama 3 repository, so the issue appears specific to the above-listed repositories.

Could someone from the team please look into this? At the very least, I’d appreciate assistance in canceling the current requests so I can re-apply properly.

Thank you for your time and support.
