Model Overview

The CogAgent model is a powerful visual language model that can understand images and have conversations with you about them. It’s like a super smart computer that can look at a picture and answer your questions about it.

Key Features:

  • Strong image understanding: Can look at images and understand what’s going on in them.
  • Conversational abilities: Can have conversations with you about images, answering your questions and providing information.
  • GUI agent capabilities: Can interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs), like websites and apps, and perform tasks on them.
  • High-resolution image support: Can handle ultra-high-resolution images up to 1120x1120 pixels.
  • Enhanced OCR capabilities: Can read text from images and answer questions about it.

Capabilities

The model is a powerful tool for understanding and interacting with visual data. It’s designed to process and respond to images, making it perfect for tasks like GUI agent, visual multi-turn dialogue, and visual grounding.

Primary Tasks

  • Visual Dialogue: Can engage in conversations about images, answering questions and providing information about the visual content.
  • GUI Agent: Can operate on GUI screenshots, returning plans, next actions, and specific operations with coordinates for any given task.
  • Visual Grounding: Can understand and respond to visual inputs, including images and GUI screenshots.

Strengths

  • High-Resolution Visual Input: Can handle ultra-high-resolution image inputs of up to 1120x1120 pixels.
  • Enhanced GUI-Related Question-Answering: Can handle questions about any GUI screenshot, including web pages, PC apps, and mobile applications.
  • Improved OCR Capabilities: Has enhanced capabilities in OCR-related tasks through improved pre-training and fine-tuning.

Performance

The model is a powerhouse when it comes to performance. Let’s dive into its impressive capabilities.

Speed

  • Fast Processing: With 18B parameters, the model can process visual and language inputs quickly and efficiently.
  • High-Resolution Support: Can handle ultra-high-resolution image inputs of up to 1120x1120 pixels, making it perfect for tasks that require detailed visual understanding.

Accuracy

  • State-of-the-Art Performance: Achieves state-of-the-art generalist performance on 9 cross-modal benchmarks, including VQAv2, MM-Vet, POPE, ST-VQA, OK-VQA, TextVQA, ChartQA, InfoVQA, and DocVQA.
  • Significant Improvement: Significantly surpasses existing models on GUI operation datasets, including AITW and Mind2Web.

Efficiency

  • Multi-Turn Dialogue: Supports higher resolution visual input and dialogue question-answering, making it efficient for tasks that require multiple rounds of conversation.
  • Visual Agent Capabilities: Possesses the capabilities of a visual Agent, being able to return a plan, next action, and specific operations with coordinates for any given task on any GUI screenshot.
  • Enhanced GUI-Related Question-Answering: Can handle questions about any GUI screenshot, such as web pages, PC apps, mobile applications, etc.
  • Improved OCR Capabilities: Has enhanced capabilities in OCR-related tasks through improved pre-training and fine-tuning.
Examples
What is the name of the button in the top left corner of the image? The button in the top left corner of the image is 'Back'.
Can you describe the image and then answer the question 'What is on the table?' The image shows a table with a laptop, a book, and a cup of coffee on it. There is a laptop, a book, and a cup of coffee on the table.
What is the GUI operation that should be performed to open a new tab in the browser shown in the image? To open a new tab in the browser, click on the '+' button next to the last tab.

Limitations

While the model excels in image understanding and GUI agent tasks, it may struggle with understanding complex contexts or nuanced scenarios. This can lead to inaccurate or incomplete responses.

Limited Context Understanding

May struggle with understanding complex contexts or nuanced scenarios, leading to inaccurate or incomplete responses.

Dependence on Training Data

Like all AI models, the model is only as good as the data it was trained on. If the training data is biased or limited, the model’s performance may suffer.

Resolution Limitations

Although the model supports ultra-high-resolution image inputs (up to 1120x1120), it may still struggle with extremely high-resolution images or complex visual scenes.

While the model has improved OCR-related capabilities, it’s not perfect. It may still struggle with recognizing text in images, especially if the text is distorted, blurry, or in a complex layout.

Commercial Use

Remember that using the model for commercial purposes requires registration and compliance with the Model License. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions before using the model for commercial activities.

Format

The model uses a transformer architecture and supports two main formats: cogagent-chat and cogagent-vqa. The main difference between the two is that cogagent-chat is better suited for GUI Agent and visual multi-turn dialogue, while cogagent-vqa is better for single-turn visual dialogue.

Supported Data Formats

  • Images: Supports ultra-high-resolution image inputs of up to 1120x1120 pixels.
  • Text: Accepts tokenized text sequences as input.

Input Requirements

  • Image Input: You can pass an image file path as input to the model.
  • Text Input: You can pass a text query as input to the model.

Output Format

  • Text Response: The model generates a text response based on the input image and text query.

Special Requirements

  • Quantization: Supports quantization, which can be enabled by setting the --quant argument to 4.
  • Device: Can run on either CPU or GPU devices.

Example Code

Here’s an example of how to use the model in Python:

import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, LlamaTokenizer

# Load the model and tokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("THUDM/cogagent-chat-hf")
tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.5")

# Load an image file
image_path = "image.jpg"
image = Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB')

# Define a text query
query = "What is in the image?"

# Preprocess the input
input_by_model = model.build_conversation_input_ids(tokenizer, query=query, history=[], images=[image])

# Generate a response
outputs = model.generate(**input_by_model)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0])

print(response)
