🚀Function Overview

VisionPsy-Nano-460M is a roughly 460M-parameter image-to-text model built on nanoVLM with a SigLIP2 vision encoder, SmolLM2 language backbone, 8K context, and Apache 2.0 weights.

Key Features

  • Official Hugging Face model ID qvac/VisionPsy-Nano-460M
  • Roughly 460M parameters for edge and on-device deployment
  • 8,192-token context window
  • Native 512x512 image processing with tiling for larger images
  • Single-image question answering and document, chart, diagram, and scene-text understanding
  • Apache License 2.0 open weights
  • Direct Transformers loading with trust_remote_code
  • Separate VisionPsy-Nano-460M-Flash checkpoint for lower first-token latency
  • Official GGUF variants for on-device runtimes
  • Primarily English and not intended for safety-critical automated decisions

Use Cases

  • Private or offline visual question answering
  • Reading charts, diagrams, documents, and scene text on an edge device
  • Camera and image assistants constrained by phone memory or battery
  • Domain fine-tuning for a focused visual workflow
  • Comparing full-quality and Flash checkpoints on one device
  • Testing compact VLM quality, latency, and memory tradeoffs

⚙️Input Parameters

image

image

One image per query. The official card recommends single-image inputs and native 512x512 processing with tiling for larger images.

text

string

A plain-text question or instruction about the image.

max_new_tokens

integer

Maximum generated response length for the local Transformers generation call.

💡Usage Examples

Input Parameters

{
  "model": "qvac/VisionPsy-Nano-460M",
  "image": "chart.png",
  "text": "What changed most between the two periods, and which labels support that conclusion?",
  "max_new_tokens": 160
}

Output Results

The model returns a text answer grounded in the supplied chart. Verify numbers and labels before using the result in a high-stakes workflow.
