# Model Card for SpaceMinitron-4B

**SpaceMinitron-4B** uses [Minitron-4B-Base](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Minitron-4B-Base) as the llm backbone along with the fused DINOv2+SigLIP features of [prismatic-vlms](https://github.com/TRI-ML/prismatic-vlms).


## Model Details

Uses a full fine-tune including the [spacellava dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/remyxai/vqasynth_spacellava) designed with [VQASynth](https://github.com/remyxai/VQASynth/tree/main) to enhance spatial reasoning as in [SpatialVLM](https://spatial-vlm.github.io/).

### Model Description

This model uses data synthesis techniques and publically available models to reproduce the work described in SpatialVLM to enhance the spatial reasoning of multimodal models.
With a pipeline of expert models, we can infer spatial relationships between objects in a scene to create VQA dataset for spatial reasoning.

## Usage

Try the `run_inference.py` script to run a quick test:
```bash
python run_inference.py --model_location remyxai/SpaceMinitron-4B
                        --image_source "https://remyx.ai/assets/spatialvlm/warehouse_rgb.jpg"
                        --user_prompt "What is the distance between the man in the red hat and the pallet of boxes?"
                        
```

## Deploy
Under the `docker` directory, you'll find a dockerized Triton Server for this model. Run the following:

```bash
docker build -f Dockerfile -t spacellava-server:latest
docker run -it --rm --gpus all -p8000:8000 -p8001:8001 -p8002:8002 --shm-size 24G spaceminitron-4B-server:latest
python3 client.py --image_path "https://remyx.ai/assets/spatialvlm/warehouse_rgb.jpg" \
                  --prompt "What is the distance between the man in the red hat and the pallet of boxes?"
```
