## 🤖 Inference with VideoLLaMA2
```python
import sys
sys.path.append('./')
from videollama2 import model_init, mm_infer
from videollama2.utils import disable_torch_init


def inference():
    disable_torch_init()

    # Video Inference
    modal = 'video'
    modal_path = 'assets/cat_and_chicken.mp4' 
    instruct = 'What animals are in the video, what are they doing, and how does the video feel?'
   
    # Image Inference
    modal = 'image'
    modal_path = 'assets/sora.png'
    instruct = 'What is the woman wearing, what is she doing, and how does the image feel?'
    
    model_path = 'DAMO-NLP-SG/VideoLLaMA2-7B-16F'
    model, processor, tokenizer = model_init(model_path)
    output = mm_infer(processor[modal](modal_path), instruct, model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, do_sample=False, modal=modal)

    print(output)

if __name__ == "__main__":
