You can run multimodal large models using a 1080Ti now.

We are delighted to introduce the Mini-InternVL-Chat series. In the era of large language models, many researchers have started to focus on smaller language models, such as Gemma-2B, Qwen-1.8B, and InternLM2-1.8B. Inspired by their efforts, we have distilled our vision foundation model [InternViT-6B-448px-V1-5](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/InternViT-6B-448px-V1-5) down to 300M and used [InternLM2-Chat-1.8B](https://huggingface.co/internlm/internlm2-chat-1_8b) or [Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct) as our language model. This resulted in a small multimodal model with excellent performance.

As shown in the figure below, we adopted the same model architecture as InternVL 1.5. We simply replaced the original InternViT-6B with InternViT-300M and InternLM2-Chat-20B with InternLM2-Chat-1.8B / Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct. For training, we used the same data as InternVL 1.5 to train this smaller model. Additionally, due to the lower training costs of smaller models, we used a context length of 8K during training.

## Performance

### Image Benchmarks

![image/png](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/64119264f0f81eb569e0d569/ngl8oZvNrjItWtLUQqB2V.png)

- We simultaneously use InternVL and VLMEvalKit repositories for model evaluation. Specifically, the results reported for DocVQA, ChartQA, InfoVQA, TextVQA, MME, AI2D, MMBench, CCBench, MMVet, and SEED-Image were tested using the InternVL repository. OCRBench, RealWorldQA, HallBench, and MathVista were evaluated using the VLMEvalKit.

- Please note that evaluating the same model using different testing toolkits like InternVL and VLMEvalKit can result in slight differences, which is normal. Updates to code versions and variations in environment and hardware can also cause minor discrepancies in results.

- It is important to mention that the MMVet scores we report are evaluated using GPT-4-0613 as the judge model. Different versions of GPT-4 can lead to significant variations in the scores for this dataset. For instance, using GPT-4-Turbo would result in significantly lower scores.

Limitations: Although we have made efforts to ensure the safety of the model during the training process and to encourage the model to generate text that complies with ethical and legal requirements, the model may still produce unexpected outputs due to its size and probabilistic generation paradigm. For example, the generated responses may contain biases, discrimination, or other harmful content. Please do not propagate such content. We are not responsible for any consequences resulting from the dissemination of harmful information.

## Quick Start

We provide an example code to run Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5 using `transformers`.

We also welcome you to experience the InternVL2 series models in our [online demo](https://internvl.opengvlab.com/). Currently, due to the limited GPU resources with public IP addresses, we can only deploy models up to a maximum of 26B. We will expand soon and deploy larger models to the online demo.

> Please use transformers==4.37.2 to ensure the model works normally.

### Streaming output

Besides this method, you can also use the following code to get streamed output.

```python
from transformers import TextIteratorStreamer
from threading import Thread

# Initialize the streamer
streamer = TextIteratorStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True, timeout=10)
# Define the generation configuration
generation_config = dict(num_beams=1, max_new_tokens=1024, do_sample=False, streamer=streamer)
# Start the model chat in a separate thread
thread = Thread(target=model.chat, kwargs=dict(
    tokenizer=tokenizer, pixel_values=pixel_values, question=question,
    history=None, return_history=False, generation_config=generation_config,
))
thread.start()

# Initialize an empty string to store the generated text
generated_text = ''
# Loop through the streamer to get the new text as it is generated
for new_text in streamer:
    if new_text == model.conv_template.sep:
        break
    generated_text += new_text
    print(new_text, end='', flush=True)  # Print each new chunk of generated text on the same line
```

## Finetune

SWIFT from ModelScope community has supported the fine-tuning (Image/Video) of InternVL, please check [this link](https://github.com/modelscope/swift/blob/main/docs/source_en/Multi-Modal/internvl-best-practice.md) for more details.

## Deployment

### LMDeploy

LMDeploy is a toolkit for compressing, deploying, and serving LLM, developed by the MMRazor and MMDeploy teams.

```sh
pip install lmdeploy
```

LMDeploy abstracts the complex inference process of multi-modal Vision-Language Models (VLM) into an easy-to-use pipeline, similar to the Large Language Model (LLM) inference pipeline.

#### A 'Hello, world' example

```python
from lmdeploy import pipeline, PytorchEngineConfig, ChatTemplateConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image

model = 'OpenGVLab/Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5'
image = load_image('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/tests/data/tiger.jpeg')
chat_template_config = ChatTemplateConfig('internvl-phi3')
pipe = pipeline(model, chat_template_config=chat_template_config,
                backend_config=PytorchEngineConfig(session_len=8192))
response = pipe(('describe this image', image))
print(response.text)
```

If `ImportError` occurs while executing this case, please install the required dependency packages as prompted.

#### Multi-images inference

When dealing with multiple images, you can put them all in one list. Keep in mind that multiple images will lead to a higher number of input tokens, and as a result, the size of the context window typically needs to be increased.

> Warning: Due to the scarcity of multi-image conversation data, the performance on multi-image tasks may be unstable, and it may require multiple attempts to achieve satisfactory results.

```python
from lmdeploy import pipeline, PytorchEngineConfig, ChatTemplateConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image
from lmdeploy.vl.constants import IMAGE_TOKEN

model = 'OpenGVLab/Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5'
chat_template_config = ChatTemplateConfig('internvl-phi3')
pipe = pipeline(model, chat_template_config=chat_template_config,
                backend_config=PytorchEngineConfig(session_len=8192))

image_urls=[
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/demo/resources/human-pose.jpg',
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/demo/resources/det.jpg'
]

images = [load_image(img_url) for img_url in image_urls]
# Numbering images improves multi-image conversations
response = pipe((f'Image-1: {IMAGE_TOKEN}\nImage-2: {IMAGE_TOKEN}\ndescribe these two images', images))
print(response.text)
```

#### Batch prompts inference

Conducting inference with batch prompts is quite straightforward; just place them within a list structure:

```python
from lmdeploy import pipeline, PytorchEngineConfig, ChatTemplateConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image

model = 'OpenGVLab/Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5'
chat_template_config = ChatTemplateConfig('internvl-phi3')
pipe = pipeline(model, chat_template_config=chat_template_config,
                backend_config=PytorchEngineConfig(session_len=8192))

image_urls=[
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/demo/resources/human-pose.jpg",
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/demo/resources/det.jpg"
]
prompts = [('describe this image', load_image(img_url)) for img_url in image_urls]
response = pipe(prompts)
print(response)
```

#### Multi-turn conversation

There are two ways to do the multi-turn conversations with the pipeline. One is to construct messages according to the format of OpenAI and use above introduced method, the other is to use the `pipeline.chat` interface.

```python
from lmdeploy import pipeline, PytorchEngineConfig, ChatTemplateConfig, GenerationConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image

model = 'OpenGVLab/Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5'
chat_template_config = ChatTemplateConfig('internvl-phi3')
pipe = pipeline(model, chat_template_config=chat_template_config,
                backend_config=PytorchEngineConfig(session_len=8192))

image = load_image('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/demo/resources/human-pose.jpg')
gen_config = GenerationConfig(top_k=40, top_p=0.8, temperature=0.8)
sess = pipe.chat(('describe this image', image), gen_config=gen_config)
print(sess.response.text)
sess = pipe.chat('What is the woman doing?', session=sess, gen_config=gen_config)
print(sess.response.text)
```

#### Service

LMDeploy's `api_server` enables models to be easily packed into services with a single command. The provided RESTful APIs are compatible with OpenAI's interfaces. Below are an example of service startup:

```shell
lmdeploy serve api_server OpenGVLab/Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5 --model-name Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5 --backend pytorch --server-port 23333
```

To use the OpenAI-style interface, you need to install OpenAI:

```shell
pip install openai
```

Then, use the code below to make the API call:

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', base_url='http://0.0.0.0:23333/v1')
model_name = client.models.list().data[0].id
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Mini-InternVL-Chat-4B-V1-5",
    messages=[{
        'role':
        'user',
        'content': [{
            'type': 'text',
            'text': 'describe this image',
        }, {
            'type': 'image_url',
            'image_url': {
                'url':
                'https://modelscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/resource/tiger.jpeg',
            },
        }],
    }],
    temperature=0.8,
    top_p=0.8)
print(response)
```
