pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="zai-org/GLM-4.1V-9B-Base")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.1V-9B-Base")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.1V-9B-Base")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

This PR enhances the model card for THUDM/GLM-4.1V-9B-Base by:

Adding a comprehensive sample usage section: This makes it easier for users to get started with the model using the transformers library, directly addressing a key requirement for a well-documented model card.
Expanding metadata tags: Added multimodal, video, gui-agent, and grounding to the tags list to improve model discoverability and more accurately reflect its diverse capabilities beyond just "reasoning".
Adding Citation: Included the BibTeX citation from the paper for proper attribution.

These updates aim to make the model card more informative and user-friendly on the Hugging Face Hub.
