[Paper]  [Demo]  [Github]

Introduction

The Imp project aims to provide a family of highly capable yet lightweight LMMs. Our Imp-v1.5-4B-Phi3 is a strong lightweight LMMs with only 4B parameters, which is build upon Phi-3 (3.8B) and a powerful visual encoder SigLIP (0.4B), and trained on 1M mixed dataset.

We release our model weights and provide an example below to run our model . Detailed technical report and corresponding training/evaluation code will be released soon on our GitHub repo. We will persistently improve our model and release the next versions to further improve model performance :)

How to use

Install dependencies

pip install transformers # latest version is ok, but we recommend v4.36.0
pip install -q pillow accelerate einops

You can use the following code for model inference. The format of text instruction is similar to LLaVA. Note that the example can only be run on GPUs currently.

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image

torch.set_default_device("cuda")

#Create model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "MILVLG/Imp-v1.5-4B-Phi3", 
    torch_dtype=torch.float16, 
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MILVLG/Imp-v1.5-4B-Phi3", trust_remote_code=True)

#Set inputs
text = "<|user|>\n<image>\nWhat are the colors of the bus in the image?\n<|end|>\n<|assistant|>\n"
image = Image.open("images/bus.jpg")

input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt').input_ids
image_tensor = model.image_preprocess(image)

#Generate the answer
output_ids = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    images=image_tensor,
    use_cache=True)[0]
print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip())

Model evaluation

We conduct evaluation on 9 commonly-used benchmarks, including 5 academic VQA benchmarks and 4 popular MLLM benchmarks, to compare our Imp model with LLaVA (7B) and existing lightweight LMMs of similar model sizes.
