Any known issue with 2025-01-09 on CPU using transformers getting stuck during image encoding? #235

geoffroy-noel-ddh · 2025-01-28T21:27:46Z

The example transformer code on the README.md stalls on two different machines. I'm using the example code as is, the only change is the path to the image (1092x1040, png).

I stopped the execution after 8 minutes. The trace shows that the execution was in encode_image() > _run_vision_encoder() > vision_encoder() > mlp() > linear().

Is anyone able to confirm whether that code works on CPU or if this is a known issues.

Previous version of the model (2024-08-26), using associated transformer code works well on the same input image, using the exact same python environment, on the same machine. It completes in 23s.

I confirm that I encountered similar issues with rev. 2025-01-09 on different machines

Win10 with py3.11.5 besides pip also tried with conda
tried the same on Win11 with py3.12.7 (pip and conda)
tried WSL and Ubuntu
rev. 2024-08-26 works well

@autmoate @geoffroy-noel-ddh Sorry to hear that you're running into issues. Windows requires some additional steps w/ the latest revision - do you have FFMPEG and Pyvips installed to your machine? Detailed steps on getting the latest revision running are available here.

autmoate · 2025-01-31T22:31:34Z

Thanks a Lot for your reply and yes I was aware of the pyvips and pyvips-binary install. But I‘ll follow again the instructions you provided and I‘ll have a look at ffmpeg. Will give it another try next week hopefully.
Thanks for your hints and help. 🤞

Hi, you can find all the answers in my description at the top. I'm using Ubuntu, pyvips and pyvips-binary.

ffmpeg is also installed on the machine. Although I did not see in the documentation you've linked or the readme any mention of ffmpeg. So it's not clear whether that's a moondream requirement.

geoffroy-noel-ddh · 2025-02-01T15:19:58Z

@parsakhaz Does the example code at the bottom of the README work for you? Have you tried to reproduce it? If it works, can you tell what step exactly is missing from my description above as I believe it follows the installation instructions?

I tried again and I'll share what I experienced:

Starting ubuntu22.04:
With a fresh ubuntu cloud instance with Python 3.10.12, followed this instructions regarding all dependencies and for linux and at first I ran into issues again:

Retrying brought up this:

So I switched revision to:
revision="main"
And this worked for me!

Here is my code which is mostly the example code from the shared moondream docs link:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
import time
 
# Initialize the model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "vikhyatk/moondream2",
    revision="main",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    # Uncomment for GPU acceleration & pip install accelerate
    # device_map={"": "cuda"}
)
 
# Load your image
image = Image.open("images\test.jpg") # an image showing different vegetables

start = time.time() 
# 2. Visual Question Answering
print("\nAsking questions about the image:")
print(model.query(image, "List all foods in the image in json format!")["answer"])
end = time.time()
elapsed_time = end - start
print(elapsed_time)

Inference took nearly forever which is a bit of a bummer (~500s on a 6 core instance with 18GB of RAM) but yeah, no wonder. Cheap cpu-only cloud instance, I know. I hoped that it runs faster on cpu so I wouldn't have to go for gpu but accelerating cpu-inference breaks this issue I guess. Thanks anyways for the help so far again!

And now for testing Win11 again (setup as mentioned above):

I installed ffmpeg and checked it:

This wasn't the trick. So I followed the instructions on moondream-docs checking all other dependencies for Win and extracted the vips DLLs from /bin to project root. That didn't help either. When checking the task-manager I can see that the code utilizes ~1GB of RAM but CPU doesn't do anything. I guess the RAM represents the image encoding but moondream model isn't loaded.

So last thing I tested from my experiences with the ubuntu instance was to again change revision="2025-01-09" to
revision="main".
But that wasn't the solution either. Finally, I tried system environment variables for the DLLs but no, no chance. Neither the model is loaded nor does anything else happen. Strange & a pity.

~~Is there anything else that could be the problem here? Any other ideas?~~

Edit:
I finally solved it under Win11 (py3.12.7) with ffmpeg7.1_full and vips_DLLs (see moondream docs):
I noticed that torchvision wasn't installed so I gave it a try besides it wasn't mentioned in the dependencies. And lo and behold, it works!!
For me it was torch-2.6.0 and torchvision-0.21.0

See details here:

Here is the code:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
import time

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "vikhyatk/moondream2",
    revision="main",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    # Uncomment to run on GPU.
    # device_map={"": "cuda"}
)
# print(model)
print("Model loaded")

image_path = "vegetables_test.jpg"
image = Image.open(image_path)

start = time.time()
enc_image = model.encode_image(image)
print(model.query(image, "List all foods in json format")["answer"])
end = time.time()
elapsed_time = end - start
print(f"Elapsed time: {elapsed_time:.2f} seconds")

Unfortunately also ~220s for inference. Will check with preloaded model.

Thanks for all the help again!
I'd recommend a troubleshooting section somewhere maybe?
