site:github.com/huggingface/transformers CLIPModel get_image_features return_dict PR 42564

💡 Result:

Pull Request #42564 in the Hugging Face transformers library introduced a breaking change (BC) to the get_image_features (along with get_text_features, get_audio_features, and get_video_features) methods for multi-modal models like CLIP [1][2]. Prior to this change, these helper methods typically returned a pooled embedding tensor directly [2]. With this update, they now return a BaseModelOutputWithPooling (or a subclass) by default, which includes the pooler_output alongside other potential outputs such as last_hidden_state, hidden_states (when output_hidden_states=True), and attentions (when output_attentions=True) [2]. If your existing code expects a tensor output (e.g., features = model.get_image_features(inputs)), you must update it to access the pooler_output attribute [2]. The recommended migration pattern is: python # Before image_features = model.get_image_features(inputs) # After outputs = model.get_image_features(inputs, return_dict=True) image_features = outputs.pooler_output If you explicitly pass return_dict=True, the method returns a ModelOutput object [2]. This change was part of the preparation for Transformers v5 to provide more consistent output structures across different model architectures [2][3].

Hugging Face transformers commit 55dadb865681d9330f7b1e8fec92156cc38cd253 modeling_clip.py get_image_features

💡 Result:

Hugging Face transformers commit 55dadb865681d9330f7b1e8fec92156cc38cd253, titled "[BC] Update get_(text|image|audio|video)_features methods to return BaseModelOutputWithPooling", introduced a breaking change regarding how convenience methods like get_image_features behave [1]. Before this commit, get_image_features typically returned a pooled embedding tensor directly [1]. With this change, the method now returns a BaseModelOutputWithPooling object (or a subclass) [1]. This object contains several fields, most notably: - pooler_output: The pooled representation (equivalent to what was previously returned as the tensor) [1]. - last_hidden_state: The unpooled token or patch embeddings [1]. - hidden_states and attentions: Available when output_hidden_states=True or output_attentions=True are passed [1]. If your existing code expects a tensor, you should update it to extract the pooler_output from the returned object [1]: python # Old way image_features = model.get_image_features(inputs) # New way outputs = model.get_image_features(inputs, return_dict=True) image_features = outputs.pooler_output This change was implemented as part of pull request #42564 to standardize the output format for these multi-modal convenience methods across the library [1][2].

Handle tuple outputs before reading pooler_output.

When Transformers v5 returns a tuple from self.model.get_image_features(), the current branch accesses pooler_output on the tuple and can raise AttributeError. Handle tuple outputs explicitly and add a regression test.

Proposed fix 
             if not isinstance(features, torch.Tensor):
-                features = features.pooler_output
+                features = (
+                    features[1]
+                    if isinstance(features, tuple)
+                    else features.pooler_output
+                )

In `@operators/vid_vec_rep/vid_vec_rep.py` around lines 150 - 151, Update the
output handling after self.model.get_image_features() so tuple results are
unpacked or converted to the expected feature tensor before any pooler_output
access; retain the existing pooler_output handling for model-output objects and
direct Tensor results. Add a regression test covering a tuple return from
get_image_features and verifying the resulting image features are processed
successfully.
