Advanced 10.2B parameter multimodal language model with 200K context, native vision, and tool use capabilities.

Key Features

• 200K Token Context Window - Process entire books and codebases
• Native Vision Understanding - Analyze images, charts, documents, and diagrams
• Function Calling & Tool Use - Structured outputs and API integration
• Strong Reasoning - Excellent performance on math, code, and logic tasks
• Multilingual Support - 12+ languages with strong performance
• Production-Ready Safety - Comprehensive content filtering and guardrails

Quick Start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "DeepXR/Helion-V2.0-Thinking",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("DeepXR/Helion-V2.0-Thinking")

# Text generation
prompt = "Explain quantum computing in simple terms:"
inputs = processor(text=prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

# Image understanding
image = Image.open("photo.jpg")
inputs = processor(text="What's in this image?", images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Installation

pip install transformers torch accelerate pillow

With Quantization

from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig

# 8-bit (16GB VRAM)
config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)

# 4-bit (12GB VRAM)
config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4"
)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "DeepXR/Helion-V2.0-Thinking",
    quantization_config=config,
    device_map="auto"
)

Advanced Features

Function Calling

import json

tools = [{
    "name": "calculator",
    "description": "Perform calculations",
    "parameters": {"expression": {"type": "string"}}
}]

prompt = f"Available tools: {json.dumps(tools)}\n\nUser: What is 127 * 89?\nAssistant:"
inputs = processor(text=prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128, temperature=0.2)

Long Context (200K)

# Process entire documents
with open("long_document.txt") as f:
    document = f.read()  # Up to 200K tokens

prompt = f"{document}\n\nSummarize the key points:"
inputs = processor(text=prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024)

Multi-Image Analysis

images = [Image.open(f"image{i}.jpg") for i in range(3)]
prompt = "Compare these images and describe the differences:"
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=images, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)

Safety Features

Built-in safety guardrails including:

• Content filtering for harmful outputs
• PII detection and redaction
• Rate limiting capabilities
• Toxicity detection
• Appropriate refusal behavior

See safety_wrapper.py for production deployment.

Limitations

• Primarily optimized for English (good multilingual support)
• Vision works best with clear, well-lit images
• Very long contexts (150K+) require substantial VRAM
• May occasionally generate incorrect information
• Not suitable for medical/legal advice without human review

Files Included

• inference.py - Full inference script with examples
• safety_wrapper.py - Production safety wrapper
• evaluate.py - Comprehensive evaluation suite
• benchmark.py - Performance benchmarking
• QUICKSTART.md - Quick start guide
• USE_CASES.md - Detailed use case examples
• safety_config.json - Safety configuration
• requirements.txt - Dependencies
