Megamind-v2-VL-low-bf16-mlx

Megamind-v2-VL-low BF16 MLX

This is a BF16 (bfloat16) precision MLX conversion of digitranslab/Megamind-v2-VL-low.

Model Description

Megamind-v2-VL is an 8-billion parameter vision-language model designed for long-horizon, multi-step tasks in real software environments. This "low" variant is optimized for faster inference while maintaining strong performance on agentic automation and UI control tasks.

Key Features:

• Vision-language understanding for browser and desktop applications
• Screenshot grounding and tool call capabilities
• Stable multi-step execution with minimal performance drift
• Error recovery and intermediate state maintenance

Precision

This model was converted to MLX format with bfloat16 precision (no quantization) using MLX-VLM by Prince Canuma. BF16 provides near full-precision quality with reduced memory footprint.

Conversion command:

mlx_vlm.convert --hf-path digitranslab/Megamind-v2-VL-low --dtype bfloat16 --mlx-path Megamind-v2-VL-low-bf16-mlx

Usage

Installation

pip install mlx-vlm

Python

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
from mlx_vlm.utils import load_config

# Load the model
model_path = "digitranslab/Megamind-v2-VL-low-bf16-mlx"
model, processor = load(model_path)
config = load_config(model_path)

# Prepare input
image = ["path/to/image.jpg"]
prompt = "Describe this image."

# Apply chat template
formatted_prompt = apply_chat_template(
    processor, config, prompt, num_images=len(image)
)

# Generate output
output = generate(model, processor, formatted_prompt, image, verbose=False)
print(output)

Command Line

mlx_vlm.generate --model digitranslab/Megamind-v2-VL-low-bf16-mlx --max-tokens 100 --prompt "Describe this image" --image path/to/image.jpg

Intended Use

This model is designed for:

• Agentic automation and UI control
• Stepwise operation in browsers and desktop applications
• Screenshot grounding and tool calls
• Long-horizon multi-step task execution
