👁️ North Micro Vision Flashcards

An interactive diagram flashcard quiz generator powered by the native-resolution CohereLabs North Micro Vision Instruct multimodal AI model and Gradio. Upload any labeled diagram, anatomical chart, or schematic to instantly generate multiple choice quiz questions.

🔄 How It Works

---

🚀 Quickstart & Installation

Follow these simple steps to run the North Micro Vision Flashcard Generator locally.

1. Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• NVIDIA GPU with ~5GB VRAM (or CPU/bf16 support)

2. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. (Optional) Pre-Download Model Weights

To download the model weights (~4.8GB) in advance before launching the app:

Option A: Using Hugging Face CLI

pip install huggingface_hub
huggingface-cli download CohereLabs/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct

Option B: Using Python

python -c "from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCausalLM; model_id='CohereLabs/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct'; AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True); AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True); print('Download complete!')"

Note: Weights are cached locally in standard Hugging Face cache directory. app.py automatically reuses cached weights on future runs without re-downloading.

4. Run the Gradio Web Application

python app.py

Open your browser at http://127.0.0.1:7860 to start creating interactive diagram quizzes!
