LLaVA-Critic-7B

Model Summary

llava-critic-7b is the first open-source large multimodal model (LMM) designed as a generalist evaluator for assessing model performance across diverse multimodal scenarios. Built on the foundation of llava-onevision-7b-ov, it has been finetuned on LLaVA-Critic-113k dataset to develop its "critic" capacities.

LLaVA-Critic excels in two primary scenarios:

1️⃣ LMM-as-a-Judge: It delivers judgement closely aligned with human, and provides concrete, image-grounded reasons. An open-source alternative to GPT for evaluations.
2️⃣ Preference Learning: Reliable reward signals power up visual chat, leading to LLaVA-OV-Chat 7B/72B.

Use

Intended Use

The model demonstrates general capacities in providing quantitative judgments and qualitative justifications for evaluating LMM-generated responses. It mainly focuses on two evaluation settings:

Pointwise scoring, where it assigns a score to an individual candidate response.
Pairwise ranking, where it compares two candidate responses to determine their relative quality.
