Generate - With Image Files

This API lets you ask questions along with the image files to the LLMs. These APIs correlate to the completion APIs.

:::note

Executing this on Ollama server running in CPU-mode will take longer to generate response. Hence, GPU-mode is recommended.

:::

Synchronous mode

If you have this image downloaded and you pass the path to the downloaded image to the following code:

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String host = "http://localhost:11434/";
        OllamaAPI ollamaAPI = new OllamaAPI(host);
        ollamaAPI.setRequestTimeoutSeconds(10);

        OllamaResult result = ollamaAPI.generateWithImageFiles(OllamaModelType.LLAVA,
                "What's in this image?",
                List.of(
                        new File("/path/to/image")));
        System.out.println(result.getResponse());
    }
}

You will get a response similar to:

This image features a white boat with brown cushions, where a dog is sitting on the back of the boat. The dog seems to be enjoying its time outdoors, perhaps on a lake.
