Instructions to use allenai/Molmo2-ER with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use allenai/Molmo2-ER with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="allenai/Molmo2-ER", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("allenai/Molmo2-ER", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

						"text": "Describe this image in one sentence."
					},
					{
						"type": "image_url",
						"image_url": {
							"url": "https://cdn.britannica.com/61/93061-050-99147DCE/Statue-of-Liberty-Island-New-York-Bay.jpg"
						}
					}
				]
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker images

docker run --gpus all \
    --shm-size 32g \
    -p 30000:30000 \
    -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \

-## Model and Hardware Safety
-MolmoAct2 generate robot actions from visual observations and language instructions, but their behavior may vary across embodiments, environments, and hardware configurations. Users should carefully validate model outputs before deployment, especially when operating physical robots or other actuated systems. Where possible, actions should be monitored through interpretable intermediate outputs (adaptive depth map), simulation rollouts, action limits, or other safety checks before execution on hardware. The model’s action space should be bounded by the training data, robot controller limits, and task-specific safety constraints, including limits on speed, workspace, torque, and contact force. Users should follow the hardware manufacturer’s safety guidelines, use appropriate emergency-stop mechanisms, and operate the system only in a safely configured environment with human supervision.
