Libraries

How to use microsoft/Florence-2-large with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="microsoft/Florence-2-large", trust_remote_code=True)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-large", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-large", trust_remote_code=True)

Token Count Calculation in SFT Data Distribution Curation

Token Count Calculation in SFT Data Distribution Curation
Regarding the curation of SFT data, including the curation of the data distribution, I would like to understand how you calculate the token count for each data entry when designing the distribution. Is the token count based only on the user tokens, or does it also include the assistant tokens? (The reason I ask is that I understand the SFT loss is calculated only based on the assistant tokens.)
