# LLaVa-Next, leveraging [mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2) as LLM

The LLaVA-NeXT model was proposed in [LLaVA-NeXT: Improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge](https://llava-vl.github.io/blog/2024-01-30-llava-next/) by Haotian Liu, Chunyuan Li, Yuheng Li, Bo Li, Yuanhan Zhang, Sheng Shen, Yong Jae Lee. LLaVa-NeXT (also called LLaVa-1.6) improves upon [LLaVa-1.5](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/llava.html) by increasing the input image resolution and training on an improved visual instruction tuning dataset to improve OCR and common sense reasoning.

Disclaimer: The team releasing LLaVa-NeXT did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.

## Model description

LLaVa combines a pre-trained large language model with a pre-trained vision encoder for multimodal chatbot use cases.

## Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for tasks like image captioning, visual question answering, multimodal chatbot use cases. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=llava-hf) to look for
other versions on a task that interests you.

### How to use

We refer to the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/llava_next.html#).
