The pipelines are a great and easy way to use models for inference. These pipelines are objects that abstract most of the complex code from the library, offering a simple API dedicated to several tasks, including Named Entity Recognition, Masked Language Modeling, Sentiment Analysis, Feature Extraction and Question Answering. See the task summary for examples of use.
There are two categories of pipeline abstractions to be aware about:
The pipeline abstraction is a wrapper around all the other available pipelines. It is instantiated as any other pipeline but can provide additional quality of life.
Simple call on one item:
>>> pipe = pipeline("text-classification")
>>> pipe("This restaurant is awesome")
[{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.9998743534088135}]
If you want to use a specific model from the hub you can ignore the task if the model on the hub already defines it:
>>> pipe = pipeline(model="FacebookAI/roberta-large-mnli")
>>> pipe("This restaurant is awesome")
[{'label': 'NEUTRAL', 'score': 0.7313136458396912}]
To call a pipeline on many items, you can call it with a list.
>>> pipe = pipeline("text-classification")
>>> pipe(["This restaurant is awesome", "This restaurant is awful"])
[{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.9998743534088135},
{'label': 'NEGATIVE', 'score': 0.9996669292449951}]
To iterate over full datasets it is recommended to use a dataset directly. This means you don’t need to allocate the whole dataset at once, nor do you need to do batching yourself. This should work just as fast as custom loops on GPU. If it doesn’t don’t hesitate to create an issue.
import datasets
from transformers import pipeline
from transformers.pipelines.pt_utils import KeyDataset
from tqdm.auto import tqdm
pipe = pipeline("automatic-speech-recognition", model="facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h", device=0)
dataset = datasets.load_dataset("superb", name="asr", split="test")
for out in tqdm(pipe(KeyDataset(dataset, "file"))):
print(out)
For ease of use, a generator is also possible:
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-classification")
def data():
while True:
yield "This is a test"

str or PretrainedConfig, optional) — The configuration that will be used by the pipeline to instantiate the model. This can be a model identifier or an actual pretrained model configuration inheriting from PretrainedConfig.
If not provided, the default configuration file for the requested model will be used. That means that if model is given, its default configuration will be used. However, if model is not supplied, this task’s default model’s config is used instead.
str or PreTrainedTokenizer, optional) — The tokenizer that will be used by the pipeline to encode data for the model. This can be a model identifier or an actual pretrained tokenizer inheriting from PreTrainedTokenizer.
If not provided, the default tokenizer for the given model will be loaded (if it is a string).

However, if config is also not given or not a string, then the default tokenizer for the given task will be loaded.
str or PreTrainedFeatureExtractor, optional) — The feature extractor that will be used by the pipeline to encode data for the model. This can be a model identifier or an actual pretrained feature extractor inheriting from PreTrainedFeatureExtractor.
Feature extractors are used for non-NLP models, such as Speech or Vision models as well as multi-modal models. Multi-modal models will also require a tokenizer to be passed.
If not provided, the default feature extractor for the given model will be loaded (if it is a string). If model is not specified or not a string, then the default feature extractor for config is loaded (if it is a string).

str, optional) — The framework to use, either "pt" for PyTorch or "tf" for TensorFlow. The specified framework must be installed.
If no framework is specified, will default to the one currently installed. If no framework is specified and both frameworks are installed, will default to the framework of the model, or to PyTorch if no model is provided.
str, optional, defaults to "main") — When passing a task name or a string model identifier: The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id, since we use a git-based system for storing models and other artifacts on huggingface.co, so revision can be any identifier allowed by git. bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether or not to use a Fast tokenizer if possible (a PreTrainedTokenizerFast). str or bool, optional) — The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files.

When accelerate library is present, set device_map="auto" to compute the most optimized device_map automatically (see here for more information).
Do not use device_map AND device at the same time as they will conflict
str or torch.dtype, optional) — Sent directly as model_kwargs (just a simpler shortcut) to use the available precision for this model (torch.float16, torch.bfloat16, … or "auto"). bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to allow for custom code defined on the Hub in their own modeling, configuration, tokenization or even pipeline files. This option should only be set to True for repositories you trust and in which you have read the code, as it will execute code present on the Hub on your local machine. Dict[str, Any], optional) — Additional dictionary of keyword arguments passed along to the model’s from_pretrained(..., **model_kwargs) function. Dict[str, Any], optional) — Additional keyword arguments passed along to the specific pipeline init (see the documentation for the corresponding pipeline class for possible values).

Utility factory method to build a Pipeline.
A pipeline consists of:
While there are such optional arguments as `tokenizer`, `feature_extractor`, `image_processor`, and `processor`, they shouldn't be specified all at once. If these components are not provided, `pipeline` will try to load required ones automatically. In case you want to provide these components explicitly, please refer to a specific pipeline in order to get more details regarding what components are required.
Examples:
>>> from transformers import pipeline, AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
>>>
>>> analyzer = pipeline("sentiment-analysis")
>>>
>>> oracle = pipeline(
... "question-answering", model="distilbert/distilbert-base-cased-distilled-squad", tokenizer="google-bert/bert-base-cased"
... )
>>>
>>> model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("dbmdz/bert-large-cased-finetuned-conll03-english")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-cased")
>>> recognizer = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer) Pipeline batching
All pipelines can use batching. This will work whenever the pipeline uses its streaming ability (so when passing lists or Dataset or generator).
from transformers import pipeline
from transformers.pipelines.pt_utils import KeyDataset
import datasets
dataset = datasets.load_dataset("imdb", name="plain_text", split="unsupervised")
pipe = pipeline("text-classification", device=0)
for out in pipe(KeyDataset(dataset, "text"), batch_size=8, truncation="only_first"):
print(out)
However, this is not automatically a win for performance. It can be either a 10x speedup or 5x slowdown depending on hardware, data and the actual model being used.
Example where it’s mostly a speedup:
from transformers import pipeline
from torch.utils.data import Dataset
from tqdm.auto import tqdm
pipe = pipeline("text-classification", device=0)
class MyDataset(Dataset):
def __len__(self):
return 5000
def __getitem__(self, i):
return "This is a test"
dataset = MyDataset()
for batch_size in [1, 8, 64, 256]:
print("-" * 30)
print(f"Streaming batch_size={batch_size}")
for out in tqdm(pipe(dataset, batch_size=batch_size), total=len(dataset)):
pass
# On GTX 970 ------------------------------ Streaming no batching 100%|██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 5000/5000 [00:26<00:00, 187.52it/s] ------------------------------ Streaming batch_size=8 100%|█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 5000/5000 [00:04<00:00, 1205.95it/s] ------------------------------ Streaming batch_size=64 100%|█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 5000/5000 [00:02<00:00, 2478.24it/s] ------------------------------ Streaming batch_size=256 100%|█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 5000/5000 [00:01<00:00, 2554.43it/s] (diminishing returns, saturated the GPU)
Example where it’s most a slowdown:
class MyDataset(Dataset):
def __len__(self):
return 5000
def __getitem__(self, i):
if i % 64 == 0:
n = 100
else:
n = 1
return "This is a test" * n
This is a occasional very long sentence compared to the other. In that case, the whole batch will need to be 400 tokens long, so the whole batch will be [64, 400] instead of [64, 4], leading to the high slowdown. Even worse, on bigger batches, the program simply crashes.

There are no good (general) solutions for this problem, and your mileage may vary depending on your use cases. Rule of thumb:
For users, a rule of thumb is:
Measure performance on your load, with your hardware. Measure, measure, and keep measuring. Real numbers are the only way to go.
If you are latency constrained (live product doing inference), don’t batch.
If you are using CPU, don’t batch.
If you are using throughput (you want to run your model on a bunch of static data), on GPU, then:
As soon as you enable batching, make sure you can handle OOMs nicely.
zero-shot-classification and question-answering are slightly specific in the sense, that a single input might yield multiple forward pass of a model. Under normal circumstances, this would yield issues with batch_size argument.
In order to circumvent this issue, both of these pipelines are a bit specific, they are ChunkPipeline instead of regular Pipeline. In short:
preprocessed = pipe.preprocess(inputs) model_outputs = pipe.forward(preprocessed) outputs = pipe.postprocess(model_outputs)
Now becomes:
all_model_outputs = []
for preprocessed in pipe.preprocess(inputs):
model_outputs = pipe.forward(preprocessed)
all_model_outputs.append(model_outputs)
outputs = pipe.postprocess(all_model_outputs)
This should be very transparent to your code because the pipelines are used in the same way.
This is a simplified view, since the pipeline can handle automatically the batch to ! Meaning you don’t have to care about how many forward passes you inputs are actually going to trigger, you can optimize the batch_size independently of the inputs. The caveats from the previous section still apply.
Models can be run in FP16 which can be significantly faster on GPU while saving memory. Most models will not suffer noticeable performance loss from this. The larger the model, the less likely that it will.
To enable FP16 inference, you can simply pass torch_dtype=torch.float16 or torch_dtype='float16' to the pipeline constructor. Note that this only works for models with a PyTorch backend. Your inputs will be converted to FP16 internally.
If you want to override a specific pipeline.
Don’t hesitate to create an issue for your task at hand, the goal of the pipeline is to be easy to use and support most cases, so transformers could maybe support your use case.
If you want to try simply you can:
class MyPipeline(TextClassificationPipeline):
def postprocess():
scores = scores * 100
my_pipeline = MyPipeline(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, ...)
my_pipeline = pipeline(model="xxxx", pipeline_class=MyPipeline)
That should enable you to do all the custom code you want.

__call__ < source >( inputs: typing.Union[numpy.ndarray, bytes, str] **kwargs ) → Dict
Parameters
np.ndarray or bytes or str or dict) — The inputs is either :
str that is either the filename of a local audio file, or a public URL address to download the audio file. The file will be read at the correct sampling rate to get the waveform using ffmpeg. This requires ffmpeg to be installed on the system.bytes it is supposed to be the content of an audio file and is interpreted by ffmpeg in the same way.np.ndarray of shape (n, ) of type np.float32 or np.float64) Raw audio at the correct sampling rate (no further check will be done)dict form can be used to pass raw audio sampled at arbitrary sampling_rate and let this pipeline do the resampling. The dict must be in the format {"sampling_rate": int, "raw": np.array} with optionally a "stride": (left: int, right: int) than can ask the pipeline to treat the first left samples and last right samples to be ignored in decoding (but used at inference to provide more context to the model). Only use stride with CTC models.str or bool) — Only available for pure CTC models (Wav2Vec2, HuBERT, etc) and the Whisper model. Not available for other sequence-to-sequence models.
For CTC models, timestamps can take one of two formats:
"char": the pipeline will return timestamps along the text for every character in the text. For instance, if you get [{"text": "h", "timestamp": (0.5, 0.6)}, {"text": "i", "timestamp": (0.7, 0.9)}], then it means the model predicts that the letter “h” was spoken after 0.5 and before 0.6 seconds."word": the pipeline will return timestamps along the text for every word in the text. For instance, if you get [{"text": "hi ", "timestamp": (0.5, 0.9)}, {"text": "there", "timestamp": (1.0, 1.5)}], then it means the model predicts that the word “hi” was spoken after 0.5 and before 0.9 seconds.For the Whisper model, timestamps can take one of two formats:
"word": same as above for word-level CTC timestamps. Word-level timestamps are predicted through the dynamic-time warping (DTW) algorithm, an approximation to word-level timestamps by inspecting the cross-attention weights.True: the pipeline will return timestamps along the text for segments of words in the text. For instance, if you get [{"text": " Hi there!", "timestamp": (0.5, 1.5)}], then it means the model predicts that the segment “Hi there!” was spoken after 0.5 and before 1.5 seconds. Note that a segment of text refers to a sequence of one or more words, rather than individual words as with word-level timestamps.dict, optional) — The dictionary of ad-hoc parametrization of generate_config to be used for the generation call. For a complete overview of generate, check the following guide. A dictionary with the following keys:
str): The recognized text.List[Dict]) When using return_timestamps, the chunks will become a list containing all the various text chunks identified by the model, e.g.* [{"text": "hi ", "timestamp": (0.5, 0.9)}, {"text": "there", "timestamp": (1.0, 1.5)}]. The original full text can roughly be recovered by doing "".join(chunk["text"] for chunk in output["chunks"]).Transcribe the audio sequence(s) given as inputs to text. See the AutomaticSpeechRecognitionPipeline documentation for more information.
TextToAudioPipeline class transformers.TextToAudioPipeline < source >( *args vocoder = None sampling_rate = None **kwargs )

>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> pipe = pipeline(model="suno/bark-small")
>>> output = pipe("Hey it's HuggingFace on the phone!")
>>> audio = output["audio"]
>>> sampling_rate = output["sampling_rate"]
Learn more about the basics of using a pipeline in the pipeline tutorial
You can specify parameters passed to the model by using TextToAudioPipeline.__call__.forward_params or TextToAudioPipeline.__call__.generate_kwargs.
Example:
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> music_generator = pipeline(task="text-to-audio", model="facebook/musicgen-small", framework="pt")
>>>
>>> generate_kwargs = {
... "do_sample": True,
... "temperature": 0.7,

This mask filling pipeline can currently be loaded from pipeline() using the following task identifier: "fill-mask".
The models that this pipeline can use are models that have been trained with a masked language modeling objective, which includes the bi-directional models in the library. See the up-to-date list of available models on huggingface.co/models.
This pipeline only works for inputs with exactly one token masked. Experimental: We added support for multiple masks. The returned values are raw model output, and correspond to disjoint probabilities where one might expect joint probabilities (See discussion).
This pipeline now supports tokenizer_kwargs. For example try:
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> fill_masker = pipeline(model="google-bert/bert-base-uncased")
>>> tokenizer_kwargs = {"truncation": True}
>>> fill_masker(
... "This is a simple [MASK]. " + "...with a large amount of repeated text appended. " * 100,
... tokenizer_kwargs=tokenizer_kwargs,
... ) __call__ < source >

NLI-based zero-shot classification pipeline using a ModelForSequenceClassification trained on NLI (natural language inference) tasks. Equivalent of text-classification pipelines, but these models don’t require a hardcoded number of potential classes, they can be chosen at runtime. It usually means it’s slower but it is much more flexible.
Any combination of sequences and labels can be passed and each combination will be posed as a premise/hypothesis pair and passed to the pretrained model. Then, the logit for entailment is taken as the logit for the candidate label being valid. Any NLI model can be used, but the id of the entailment label must be included in the model config’s :attr:~transformers.PretrainedConfig.label2id.
Example:
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> oracle = pipeline(model="facebook/bart-large-mnli")
>>> oracle(
... "I have a problem with my iphone that needs to be resolved asap!!",
... candidate_labels=["urgent", "not urgent", "phone", "tablet", "computer"],

str) — A question to ask of the document. List[str, Tuple[float, float, float, float]], optional) — A list of words and bounding boxes (normalized 0->1000). If you provide this optional input, then the pipeline will use these words and boxes instead of running OCR on the image to derive them for models that need them (e.g. LayoutLM). This allows you to reuse OCR’d results across many invocations of the pipeline without having to re-run it each time. int, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of answers to return (will be chosen by order of likelihood). Note that we return less than top_k answers if there are not enough options available within the context. int, optional, defaults to 128) — If the words in the document are too long to fit with the question for the model, it will be split in several chunks with some overlap.

It will be truncated if needed. bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not we accept impossible as an answer. str, optional) — Language to use while running OCR. Defaults to english. str, optional) — Additional flags to pass to tesseract while running OCR. float, optional, defaults to None) — The maximum time in seconds to wait for fetching images from the web. If None, no timeout is set and the call may block forever. Returns

Each result comes as a dictionary with the following keys:
float) — The probability associated to the answer.int) — The start word index of the answer (in the OCR’d version of the input or provided word_boxes).int) — The end word index of the answer (in the OCR’d version of the input or provided word_boxes).str) — The answer to the question.list[int]) — The index of each word/box pair that is in the answerAnswer the question(s) given as inputs by using the document(s). A document is defined as an image and an optional list of (word, box) tuples which represent the text in the document.

Image-text-to-text pipeline using an AutoModelForImageTextToText. This pipeline generates text given an image and text. When the underlying model is a conversational model, it can also accept one or more chats, in which case the pipeline will operate in chat mode and will continue the chat(s) by adding its response(s). Each chat takes the form of a list of dicts, where each dict contains “role” and “content” keys.
Example:
>>> from transformers import pipeline

This image-text to text pipeline can currently be loaded from pipeline() using the following task identifier: “image-text-to-text”.
See the list of available models on huggingface.co/models.
__call__ < source >( images: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str], typing.List[typing.List[str]], ForwardRef('Image.Image'), typing.List[ForwardRef('Image.Image')], typing.List[typing.List[ForwardRef('Image.Image')]], NoneType] = None text: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str], typing.List[dict], NoneType] = None **kwargs ) → A list or a list of list of dict
Parameters
str, List[str], PIL.Image or List[PIL.Image]`) — The pipeline handles three types of images:
The pipeline accepts either a single image or a batch of images.
List[Dict[str, Union[str, PIL.Image]]]) — The text to be used for generation. If a list of strings is passed, the length of the list should be the same as the number of images. Text can also follow the chat format: a list of dictionaries where each dictionary represents a message in a conversation. Each dictionary should have two keys: ‘role’ and ‘content’. ‘role’ should be one of ‘user’, ‘system’ or ‘assistant’. ‘content’ should be a list of dictionary containing the text of the message and the type of the message. The type of the message can be either ‘text’ or ‘image’. If the type is ‘image’, no text is needed. bool, optional, defaults to False) — Returns the tensors of predictions (as token indices) in the outputs. If set to True, the decoded text is not returned. bool, optional) — Returns the decoded texts in the outputs. bool, optional, defaults to True) — If set to False only added text is returned, otherwise the full text is returned. Cannot be specified at the same time as return_text. bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether or not to clean up the potential extra spaces in the text output. bool, optional) — This indicates that you want the model to continue the last message in the input chat rather than starting a new one, allowing you to “prefill” its response. By default this is True when the final message in the input chat has the assistant role and False otherwise, but you can manually override that behaviour by setting this flag. Returns
A list or a list of list of dict
Each result comes as a dictionary with the following key (cannot return a combination of both generated_text and generated_token_ids):
str, present when return_text=True) — The generated text.torch.Tensor, present when return_tensors=True) — The token ids of the generated text.str) — The input text.Generate a text given text and the image(s) passed as inputs.

Parameters
str or ModelCard, optional) — Model card attributed to the model for this pipeline. str, optional) — The framework to use, either "pt" for PyTorch or "tf" for TensorFlow. The specified framework must be installed.
If no framework is specified, will default to the one currently installed. If no framework is specified and both frameworks are installed, will default to the framework of the model, or to PyTorch if no model is provided.
str, defaults to "") — A task-identifier for the pipeline. int, optional, defaults to 8) — When the pipeline will use DataLoader (when passing a dataset, on GPU for a Pytorch model), the number of workers to be used. int, optional, defaults to 1) — When the pipeline will use DataLoader (when passing a dataset, on GPU for a Pytorch model), the size of the batch to use, for inference this is not always beneficial, please read Batching with pipelines . int, optional, defaults to -1) — Device ordinal for CPU/GPU supports. Setting this to -1 will leverage CPU, a positive will run the model on the associated CUDA device id. You can pass native torch.device or a str too str or torch.dtype, optional) — Sent directly as model_kwargs (just a simpler shortcut) to use the available precision for this model (torch.float16, torch.bfloat16, … or "auto") bool, optional, defaults to False) — Flag indicating if the output the pipeline should happen in a serialized format (i.e., pickle) or as the raw output data e.g. text. bool, optional, default to False) — Whether or not to output the bounding box predictions. bool, optional, default to False) — Whether or not to output the masks in RLE format Automatic mask generation for images using SamForMaskGeneration. This pipeline predicts binary masks for an image, given an image. It is a ChunkPipeline because you can seperate the points in a mini-batch in order to avoid OOM issues. Use the points_per_batch argument to control the number of points that will be processed at the same time. Default is 64.
The pipeline works in 3 steps:
preprocess: A grid of 1024 points evenly separated is generated along with bounding boxes and point labels. For more details on how the points and bounding boxes are created, check the _generate_crop_boxes function. The image is also preprocessed using the image_processor. This function yields a minibatch of points_per_batch.
forward: feeds the outputs of preprocess to the model. The image embedding is computed only once. Calls both self.model.get_image_embeddings and makes sure that the gradients are not computed, and the tensors and models are on the same device.
postprocess: The most important part of the automatic mask generation happens here. Three steps are induced:
pred_iou_thresh and stability_scores. Also applies a variety of filters based on non maximum suppression to remove bad masks.Example:
>>> from transformers import pipeline >>> generator = pipeline(model="facebook/sam-vit-base", task="mask-generation") >>> outputs = generator( ... "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg", ... ) >>> outputs = generator( ... "https://huggingface.co/datasets/Narsil/image_dummy/raw/main/parrots.png", points_per_batch=128 ... )
