How to use m80hz/KITE-7B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="m80hz/KITE-7B-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, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("m80hz/KITE-7B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("m80hz/KITE-7B-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?"}
        ]
    },
]
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]:]))

KITE-7B-Instruct

KITE-7B-Instruct is a fine-tuned version of Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct for VLM-based robot failure analysis, released as part of the KITE paper (ICRA 2026).

This checkpoint contains the full merged weights (base + LoRA adapter), ready for direct inference with no additional merge step.

Model Details


Base model	Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct
Parameters	~7B
Fine-tuning	QLoRA (4-bit NF4) on RoboFAC textual + multimodal tasks
Architecture	Qwen2.5-VL (vision-language, conditional generation)
License	Apache 2.0 (same as base model)

Usage

from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForVision2Seq

model_id = "m80hz/KITE-7B-Instruct"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id, device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True)

Or serve it with vLLM for OpenAI-compatible inference:

python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model m80hz/KITE-7B-Instruct

Then use the KITE pipeline to run failure analysis:

python -m kite.cli \
  --model_name m80hz/KITE-7B-Instruct \
  --model_url http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1 \
  --dataset_folder ./datasets/robofac/simulation_data \
  --test_file ./datasets/robofac/test_qa_sim/test_detect_identify_locate.json \
  --out_dir ./outputs/kite_run
