LMM

Deprecated

This block is deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

Class: LMMBlockV1

Source: inference.core.workflows.core_steps.models.foundation.lmm.v1.LMMBlockV1

Ask a question to a Large Multimodal Model (LMM) with an image and text.

You can specify arbitrary text prompts to an LMMBlock.

The LLMBlock supports two LMMs:

  • OpenAI's GPT-4 with Vision;

You need to provide your OpenAI API key to use the GPT-4 with Vision model.

If you want to classify an image into one or more categories, we recommend using the dedicated LMMForClassificationBlock.

Type identifier

Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/lmm@v1to add the block as as step in your workflow.

Properties

Name Type Description Refs
name str Enter a unique identifier for this step.. ❌
prompt str Holds unconstrained text prompt to LMM mode. ✅
lmm_type str Type of LMM to be used. ✅
lmm_config LMMConfig Configuration of LMM. ❌
remote_api_key str Holds API key required to call LMM model - in current state of development, we require OpenAI key when lmm_type=gpt_4v.. ✅
json_output Dict[str, str] Holds dictionary that maps name of requested output field into its description. ❌

The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.
