# Magistral Small Vision Fine-tuning
This guide covers fine-tuning [Magistral Small 2509](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Magistral-Small-2509) with vision capabilities using Axolotl.
## Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure you have:
- Installed Axolotl from source (see [main README](../README.md#getting-started))
## Getting started
1. Install the required vision lib:
```bash
pip install 'mistral-common[opencv]==1.8.5'
```
2. Download the example dataset image:
```bash
wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/Nanobit/text-vision-2k-test/resolve/main/African_elephant.jpg
```
3. Run the fine-tuning:
```bash
axolotl train magistral-small-vision-24B-qlora.yml
```
This config uses about 17GiB VRAM.
WARNING: The loss and grad norm will be much higher than normal at first. We suspect this to be inherent to the model as of the moment. If anyone would like to submit a fix for this, we are happy to take a look.
### Tips
Key differences from text-only model:
- `max_tokens: 131072` for inference
- Multi-modal dataset format required
- Sample packing not supported
## Dataset Format
The vision model requires multi-modal dataset format as documented [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/multimodal.html#dataset-format).
One exception is that, passing `"image": PIL.Image` is not supported. MistralTokenizer only supports `path`, `url`, and `base64` for now.
Example:
```json
{
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "{SYSTEM_PROMPT}"}]},
{"role": "user", "content": [
{ "type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"},
{"type": "image", "path": "path/to/image.jpg" }
]},
{"role": "assistant", "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "..." }]},
],
}
```
## Limitations
- Sample Packing is not supported for multi-modality training currently.
