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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Can I add multiple images within a single prompt?

Can I add multiple images within a single prompt? I know that in syntax it might be possible but does the model support it?

vLLM appears to have added support for multiple images with Llama 3.2 here: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/9095 (v0.6.3.post1 and later)

The official answer from Meta, however, is that this model doesn't work well with more than one image: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct/discussions/43#66f98f742094ed9e5f5107d4

Based on those sources and some experimentation, it appears that the answer is: yes, it can support multiple images, but the response quality will suffer, and you should really only use one image with this model.
