+-----------
+From transformers>=v4.48, you can also pass image url or local path to the conversation history, and let the chat template handle the rest.
+Chat template will load the image for you and return inputs in `torch.Tensor` which you can pass directly to `model.generate()` 
+
+```python
+messages = [
+    {
+        "role": "user",
+        "content": [
+            {"type": "image", "url": "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"}
+            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
+        ],
+    },
+]
+
+inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True, return_dict=True, return_tensors"pt")
+output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
+```
