title: "OpenAI APIs - Vision"
metatags:
description: "This tutorial covers the vision APIs for vision language models."
---
SGLang provides OpenAI-compatible APIs to enable a smooth transition from OpenAI services to self-hosted local models.
A complete reference for the API is available in the [OpenAI API Reference](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision).
This tutorial covers the vision APIs for vision language models.
SGLang supports various vision language models such as Llama 3.2, LLaVA-OneVision, Qwen2.5-VL, Gemma3 and [more](../supported-models).
As an alternative to the OpenAI API, you can also use the [SGLang offline engine](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/examples/runtime/engine/offline_batch_inference_vlm.py).
## Launch A Server
Launch the server in your terminal and wait for it to initialize.
```python Example
from sglang.test.doc_patch import launch_server_cmd
from sglang.utils import wait_for_server, print_highlight, terminate_process
vision_process, port = launch_server_cmd(
"""
python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct --log-level warning
"""
)
wait_for_server(f"http://localhost:{port}")
```
## Using cURL
Once the server is up, you can send test requests using curl or requests.
```python Example
import subprocess
curl_command = f"""
curl -s http://localhost:{port}/v1/chat/completions \\
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
-d '{{
"model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct",
"messages": [
{{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{{
"type": "text",
"text": "What’s in this image?"
}},
{{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {{
"url": "https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/examples/assets/example_image.png?raw=true"
}}
}}
]
}}
],
"max_tokens": 300
}}'
"""
response = subprocess.check_output(curl_command, shell=True).decode()
print_highlight(response)
response = subprocess.check_output(curl_command, shell=True).decode()
print_highlight(response)
```
## Using Python Requests
```python Example
import requests
url = f"http://localhost:{port}/v1/chat/completions"
data = {
"model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "What’s in this image?"},
{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {
"url": "https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/examples/assets/example_image.png?raw=true"
},
},
],
}
],
"max_tokens": 300,
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print_highlight(response.text)
```
## Using OpenAI Python Client
```python Example
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url=f"http://localhost:{port}/v1", api_key="None")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct",
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "What is in this image?",
},
{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {
"url": "https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/examples/assets/example_image.png?raw=true"
},
},
],
}
],
max_tokens=300,
)
print_highlight(response.choices[0].message.content)
```
## Multiple-Image Inputs
The server also supports multiple images and interleaved text and images if the model supports it.
```python Example
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url=f"http://localhost:{port}/v1", api_key="None")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct",
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {
"url": "https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/examples/assets/example_image.png?raw=true",
},
},
{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {
"url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sgl-project/sglang/main/assets/logo.png",
},
},
{
"type": "text",
"text": "I have two very different images. They are not related at all. "
"Please describe the first image in one sentence, and then describe the second image in another sentence.",
},
],
}
],
temperature=0,
)
print_highlight(response.choices[0].message.content)
```
```python Example
terminate_process(vision_process)
```
