SmolVLM2

Class: SmolVLM2BlockV1

Source: inference.core.workflows.core_steps.models.foundation.smolvlm.v1.SmolVLM2BlockV1

This workflow block runs SmolVLM2, a multimodal vision-language model. You can ask questions about images -- including documents and photos -- and get answers in natural language.

Type identifier

Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/smolvlm2@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	Optional text prompt to provide additional context to SmolVLM2. Otherwise it will just be None.	❌
model_version	str	The SmolVLM2 model to be used for inference..	✅

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