Instructions to use microsoft/Florence-2-base with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use microsoft/Florence-2-base with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="microsoft/Florence-2-base", trust_remote_code=True)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-base", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-base", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

vLLM

How to use microsoft/Florence-2-base with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "microsoft/Florence-2-base"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "microsoft/Florence-2-base",
		"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
		"max_tokens": 512,
		"temperature": 0.5
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/microsoft/Florence-2-base

SGLang

How to use microsoft/Florence-2-base with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang
# Start the SGLang server:
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path "microsoft/Florence-2-base" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "microsoft/Florence-2-base",
		"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
		"max_tokens": 512,
		"temperature": 0.5
	}'

Use Docker images

docker run --gpus all \
    --shm-size 32g \
    -p 30000:30000 \
    -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
    --env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" \
    --ipc=host \
    lmsysorg/sglang:latest \
    python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
        --model-path "microsoft/Florence-2-base" \
        --host 0.0.0.0 \
        --port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/completions" \
