UForm

Pocket-Sized Multimodal AI
For Content Understanding and Generation

Description

UForm-Gen is a small generative vision-language model primarily designed for Image Captioning and Visual Question Answering. The model consists of two parts:

1. uform-vl-english visual encoder,
2. Sheared-LLaMA-1.3B language model tuned on instruction datasets.

The model was pre-trained on: MSCOCO, SBU Captions, Visual Genome, VQAv2, GQA and a few internal datasets.

Usage

pip install uform

The generative model can be used to caption images, summarize their content, or answer questions about them. The exact behavior is controlled by prompts.

from uform.gen_model import VLMForCausalLM, VLMProcessor

model = VLMForCausalLM.from_pretrained("unum-cloud/uform-gen")
processor = VLMProcessor.from_pretrained("unum-cloud/uform-gen")

# [cap] Narrate the contents of the image with precision.
# [cap] Summarize the visual content of the image.
# [vqa] What is the main subject of the image?
prompt = "[cap] Summarize the visual content of the image."
image = Image.open("zebra.jpg")

inputs = processor(texts=[prompt], images=[image], return_tensors="pt")
with torch.inference_mode():
     output = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        do_sample=False,
        use_cache=True,
        max_new_tokens=128,
        eos_token_id=32001,
        pad_token_id=processor.tokenizer.pad_token_id
    )

prompt_len = inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]
decoded_text = processor.batch_decode(output[:, prompt_len:])[0]

Evaluation

For captioning evaluation we measure CLIPScore and RefCLIPScore¹.

Speed

On RTX 3090, the following performance is expected on text token generation using float16, equivalent PyTorch settings, and greedy decoding.

Model	Size	Speed	Speedup
llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf	7B	~ 40 tokens/second
Salesforce/instructblip-vicuna-7b	7B	~ 40 tokens/second
unum-cloud/uform-gen	1.5B	~ 140 tokens/second	x 3.5
