Image understanding + tool-use grounding for Qwen2-VL
SakThai multimodal adapter · part of the SakThai Model Family

---

The vision branch of the SakThai family — a small multimodal model built for screenshots, documents, diagrams, and tool grounding instead of generic captioning.
It is tuned to return structured, actionable descriptions you can feed directly into an agentic pipeline.

The Story Behind It

Beer built this model because most "vision" demos describe pictures instead of acting on them. In shelter wifi, on borrowed Colab sessions, he fine-tuned Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct with SakThai's tool-style formatting so the model learns to describe images as inputs to actions — not just pretty captions.

"We are one family — and becoming more."

Model Description

Status: actively maintained Size: ~2B parameters Languages: English, Thai, Chinese

Quick reference:

• Multimodal image-text-to-text model
• Optimized for screenshots, documents, diagrams, and tool grounding
• Runs on CPU and GPU

SakThai Vision 7B is a multimodal understanding model focused on images that need action, not just captioning. It is built for:

• Visual question answering with image context
• Screenshot parsing and structured extraction
• Tool-use grounding from image content
• Multimodal assistant-style reasoning

Important naming note: This repo is branded as "Vision 7B" for family consistency, but the underlying architecture is Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct with SakThai training; the name describes capability scope, not exact parameter count.

What it is

A Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct fine-tune for image-text-to-text tasks with tool-use style outputs. It expects text prompts with <img> markers and images, and it is optimized for:

• structured UI extraction
• diagram/dense OCR reasoning where instructions are explicit
• bridging vision into tool-calling agents

How to Use

Basic usage with Transformers (GPU)

from transformers import Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image

model_id = "Nanthasit/sakthai-vision-7b"
model = Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Load an image (local file or URL)
image = Image.open("screenshot.png")

messages = [
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
      {"type": "image", "image": image},
      {"type": "text", "text": "Extract all actionable fields and tool actions visible in this UI."}
    ]
  }
]

# Apply chat template
text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = processor(text=[text], images=[image], return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

# Generate
import torch
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.2)

# Decode
result = processor.batch_decode(
    outputs[:, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:],
    skip_special_tokens=True
)[0]
print(result)

CPU-only inference (with reduced resolution)

import torch
from transformers import Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image

model = Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "Nanthasit/sakthai-vision-7b",
    device_map="cpu",
    torch_dtype=torch.float32
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Nanthasit/sakthai-vision-7b")

# Keep images small for CPU; resize if needed
image = Image.open("screenshot.png").convert("RGB").resize((512, 512))

messages = [
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
      {"type": "image", "image": image},
      {"type": "text", "text": "What are the key UI elements and their labels?"}
    ]
  }
]

text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = processor(text=[text], images=[image], return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
result = processor.batch_decode(outputs[:, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(result)

Save locally for reuse

model.save_pretrained("./sakthai-vision-7b")
processor.save_pretrained("./sakthai-vision-7b")

# Later, load from disk
model = Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("./sakthai-vision-7b")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("./sakthai-vision-7b")

With llama.cpp (GGUF format)

If you have a GGUF-quantized version of this model:

# Assuming a .gguf file is available
./llama-server -m sakthai-vision-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --n-gpu-layers 10

Then POST to the server:

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8000/completion",
    json={
        "prompt": "Extract all actionable fields from this screenshot",
        "n_predict": 256,
        "temperature": 0.2
    }
)
print(response.json()["content"])

Example 4: OCR-dense document

Input: Invoice image.
Prompt: Extract invoice number, date, vendor, and total amount.

Model output:

Invoice details:
- Number: INV-2026-0891
- Date: 2026-08-01
- Vendor: SakThai Supplies Ltd
- Total: 1,240.00 THB

Hardware requirements

• Recommended: GPU with ≥6 GB VRAM for comfortable batch-1 inference (2-3 sec/image).
• CPU-only: Possible but slow (~30–60 sec/image depending on CPU); prefer small images (<512px) and max_new_tokens ≤ 128.
• Mobile/edge: GGUF quantization strongly recommended; see model card assets.

Limitations

• Parameter scale is small; complex OCR and dense diagram reasoning can be brittle.
• Best results require clear images and explicit instructions in the text prompt.
• Vision encoder is frozen; model learns to bridge vision and language only at the text-generation layer.
• Benchmarks are limited; treat reported metrics as indicative, not conclusive.
• No standalone tool-execution layer included; combine with a separate tool router for agentic use.
• Performance degrades on images > 2048px or with heavy visual occlusion.
• Not trained on images containing faces in privacy-critical contexts; use with ethical caution.
