Example Code ```Python from llava.model.builder import load_pretrained_model from llava.mm_utils import get_model_name_from_path from llava.eval.run_llava import eval_model model_path = "liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b" tokenizer, model, image_processor, context_len = load_pretrained_model( model_path=model_path, model_base=None, model_name=get_model_name_from_path(model_path) ) ``` Check out the details wth the `load_pretrained_model` function in `llava/model/builder.py`. You can also use the `eval_model` function in `llava/eval/run_llava.py` to get the output easily. By doing so, you can use this code on Colab directly after downloading this repository. ``` python model_path = "liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b" prompt = "What are the things I should be cautious about when I visit here?" image_file = "https://llava-vl.github.io/static/images/view.jpg" args = type('Args', (), { "model_path": model_path, "model_base": None, "model_name": get_model_name_from_path(model_path), "query": prompt, "conv_mode": None, "image_file": image_file, "sep": ",", "temperature": 0, "top_p": None, "num_beams": 1, "max_new_tokens": 512 })() eval_model(args) ```
## LLaVA Weights Please check out our [Model Zoo](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/docs/MODEL_ZOO.md) for all public LLaVA checkpoints, and the instructions of how to use the weights. ## Demo ### Gradio Web UI To launch a Gradio demo locally, please run the following commands one by one. If you plan to launch multiple model workers to compare between different checkpoints, you only need to launch the controller and the web server *ONCE*. ```mermaid flowchart BT %% Declare Nodes gws("Gradio (UI Server)") c("Controller (API Server):

Now, you can open the web interface with the URL printed on the screen. You may notice that there is no model in the model list. Do not worry, as we have not launched any model worker yet. It will be automatically updated when you launch a model worker. #### Launch a SGLang worker This is the recommended way to serve LLaVA model with high throughput, and you need to install SGLang first. Note that currently `4-bit` quantization is not supported yet on SGLang-LLaVA, and if you have limited GPU VRAM, please check out model worker with [quantization](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA?tab=readme-ov-file#launch-a-model-worker-4-bit-8-bit-inference-quantized). ```Shell pip install "sglang[all]" ``` You'll first launch a SGLang backend worker which will execute the models on GPUs. Remember the `--port` you've set and you'll use that later. ```Shell # Single GPU CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b --tokenizer-path llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf --port 30000 # Multiple GPUs with tensor parallel CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b --tokenizer-path llava-hf/llava-1.5-13b-hf --port 30000 --tp 2 ``` Tokenizers (temporary): `llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf`, `llava-hf/llava-1.5-13b-hf`, `liuhaotian/llava-v1.6-34b-tokenizer`. You'll then launch a LLaVA-SGLang worker that will communicate between LLaVA controller and SGLang backend to route the requests. Set `--sgl-endpoint` to `http://127.0.0.1:port` where `port` is the one you just set (default: 30000). ```Shell python -m llava.serve.sglang_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --sgl-endpoint http://127.0.0.1:30000 ``` #### Launch a model worker This is the actual *worker* that performs the inference on the GPU. Each worker is responsible for a single model specified in `--model-path`. ```Shell python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b ``` Wait until the process finishes loading the model and you see "Uvicorn running on ...". Now, refresh your Gradio web UI, and you will see the model you just launched in the model list. You can launch as many workers as you want, and compare between different model checkpoints in the same Gradio interface. Please keep the `--controller` the same, and modify the `--port` and `--worker` to a different port number for each worker. ```Shell python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port --worker http://localhost: --model-path ``` If you are using an Apple device with an M1 or M2 chip, you can specify the mps device by using the `--device` flag: `--device mps`. #### Launch a model worker (Multiple GPUs, when GPU VRAM <= 24GB) If the VRAM of your GPU is less than 24GB (e.g., RTX 3090, RTX 4090, etc.), you may try running it with multiple GPUs. Our latest code base will automatically try to use multiple GPUs if you have more than one GPU. You can specify which GPUs to use with `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`. Below is an example of running with the first two GPUs. ```Shell CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b ``` #### Launch a model worker (4-bit, 8-bit inference, quantized) You can launch the model worker with quantized bits (4-bit, 8-bit), which allows you to run the inference with reduced GPU memory footprint, potentially allowing you to run on a GPU with as few as 12GB VRAM. Note that inference with quantized bits may not be as accurate as the full-precision model. Simply append `--load-4bit` or `--load-8bit` to the **model worker** command that you are executing. Below is an example of running with 4-bit quantization. ```Shell python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b --load-4bit ``` #### Launch a model worker (LoRA weights, unmerged) You can launch the model worker with LoRA weights, without merging them with the base checkpoint, to save disk space. There will be additional loading time, while the inference speed is the same as the merged checkpoints. Unmerged LoRA checkpoints do not have `lora-merge` in the model name, and are usually much smaller (less than 1GB) than the merged checkpoints (13G for 7B, and 25G for 13B). To load unmerged LoRA weights, you simply need to pass an additional argument `--model-base`, which is the base LLM that is used to train the LoRA weights. You can check the base LLM of each LoRA weights in the [model zoo](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/docs/MODEL_ZOO.md). ```Shell python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1-0719-336px-lora-vicuna-13b-v1.3 --model-base lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3 ``` ### CLI Inference Chat about images using LLaVA without the need of Gradio interface. It also supports multiple GPUs, 4-bit and 8-bit quantized inference. With 4-bit quantization, for our LLaVA-1.5-7B, it uses less than 8GB VRAM on a single GPU. ```Shell python -m llava.serve.cli \ --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b \ --image-file "https://llava-vl.github.io/static/images/view.jpg" \ --load-4bit ``` ## Train *Below is the latest training configuration for LLaVA v1.5. For legacy models, please refer to README of [this](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/tree/v1.0.1) version for now. We'll add them in a separate doc later.* LLaVA training consists of two stages: (1) feature alignment stage: use our 558K subset of the LAION-CC-SBU dataset to connect a *frozen pretrained* vision encoder to a *frozen LLM*; (2) visual instruction tuning stage: use 150K GPT-generated multimodal instruction-following data, plus around 515K VQA data from academic-oriented tasks, to teach the model to follow multimodal instructions. LLaVA is trained on 8 A100 GPUs with 80GB memory. To train on fewer GPUs, you can reduce the `per_device_train_batch_size` and increase the `gradient_accumulation_steps` accordingly. Always keep the global batch size the same: `per_device_train_batch_size` x `gradient_accumulation_steps` x `num_gpus`. ### Hyperparameters We use a similar set of hyperparameters as Vicuna in finetuning. Both hyperparameters used in pretraining and finetuning are provided below. 1. Pretraining | Hyperparameter | Global Batch Size | Learning rate | Epochs | Max length | Weight decay | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | LLaVA-v1.5-13B | 256 | 1e-3 | 1 | 2048 | 0 | 2. Finetuning | Hyperparameter | Global Batch Size | Learning rate | Epochs | Max length | Weight decay | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | LLaVA-v1.5-13B | 128 | 2e-5 | 1 | 2048 | 0 | ### Download Vicuna checkpoints (automatically) Our base model Vicuna v1.5, which is an instruction-tuned chatbot, will be downloaded automatically when you run our provided training scripts. No action is needed. ### Pretrain (feature alignment) Please download the 558K subset of the LAION-CC-SBU dataset with BLIP captions we use in the paper [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/liuhaotian/LLaVA-Pretrain). Pretrain takes around 5.5 hours for LLaVA-v1.5-13B on 8x A100 (80G), due to the increased resolution to 336px. It takes around 3.5 hours for LLaVA-v1.5-7B. Training script with DeepSpeed ZeRO-2: [`pretrain.sh`](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/scripts/v1_5/pretrain.sh). - `--mm_projector_type mlp2x_gelu`: the two-layer MLP vision-language connector. - `--vision_tower openai/clip-vit-large-patch14-336`: CLIP ViT-L/14 336px.
Pretrain takes around 20 hours for LLaVA-7B on 8x V100 (32G) We provide training script with DeepSpeed [here](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/scripts/pretrain_xformers.sh). Tips: - If you are using V100 which is not supported by FlashAttention, you can use the [memory-efficient attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.05682) implemented in [xFormers](https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers). Install xformers and replace `llava/train/train_mem.py` above with [llava/train/train_xformers.py](llava/train/train_xformers.py).
### Visual Instruction Tuning 1. Prepare data Please download the annotation of the final mixture our instruction tuning data [llava_v1_5_mix665k.json](https://huggingface.co/datasets/liuhaotian/LLaVA-Instruct-150K/blob/main/llava_v1_5_mix665k.json), and download the images from constituting datasets: - COCO: [train2017](http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2017.zip) - GQA: [images](https://downloads.cs.stanford.edu/nlp/data/gqa/images.zip) - OCR-VQA: [download script](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_GYPY5UkUy7HIcR0zq3ZCFgeZN7BAfm_?usp=sharing), **we save all files as `.jpg`** - TextVQA: [train_val_images](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/textvqa/images/train_val_images.zip) - VisualGenome: [part1](https://cs.stanford.edu/people/rak248/VG_100K_2/images.zip), [part2](https://cs.stanford.edu/people/rak248/VG_100K_2/images2.zip) After downloading all of them, organize the data as follows in `./playground/data`, ``` β”œβ”€β”€ coco β”‚ └── train2017 β”œβ”€β”€ gqa β”‚ └── images β”œβ”€β”€ ocr_vqa β”‚ └── images β”œβ”€β”€ textvqa β”‚ └── train_images └── vg β”œβ”€β”€ VG_100K └── VG_100K_2 ``` 2. Start training! You may download our pretrained projectors in [Model Zoo](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/docs/MODEL_ZOO.md). It is not recommended to use legacy projectors, as they may be trained with a different version of the codebase, and if any option is off, the model will not function/train as we expected. Visual instruction tuning takes around 20 hours for LLaVA-v1.5-13B on 8x A100 (80G), due to the increased resolution to 336px. It takes around 10 hours for LLaVA-v1.5-7B on 8x A100 (40G). Training script with DeepSpeed ZeRO-3: [`finetune.sh`](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/scripts/v1_5/finetune.sh). If you are do not have enough GPU memory: - Use LoRA: [`finetune_lora.sh`](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/scripts/v1_5/finetune_lora.sh). We are able to fit 13B training in 8-A100-40G/8-A6000, and 7B training in 8-RTX3090. Make sure `per_device_train_batch_size*gradient_accumulation_steps` is the same as the provided script for best reproducibility. - Replace `zero3.json` with `zero3_offload.json` which offloads some parameters to CPU RAM. This slows down the training speed. If you are interested in finetuning LLaVA model to your own task/data, please check out [`Finetune_Custom_Data.md`](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/docs/Finetune_Custom_Data.md)。 New options to note: - `--mm_projector_type mlp2x_gelu`: the two-layer MLP vision-language connector. - `--vision_tower openai/clip-vit-large-patch14-336`: CLIP ViT-L/14 336px. - `--image_aspect_ratio pad`: this pads the non-square images to square, instead of cropping them; it slightly reduces hallucination. - `--group_by_modality_length True`: this should only be used when your instruction tuning dataset contains both language (e.g. ShareGPT) and multimodal (e.g. LLaVA-Instruct). It makes the training sampler only sample a single modality (either image or language) during training, which we observe to speed up training by ~25%, and does not affect the final outcome. ## Evaluation In LLaVA-1.5, we evaluate models on a diverse set of 12 benchmarks. To ensure the reproducibility, we evaluate the models with greedy decoding. We do not evaluate using beam search to make the inference process consistent with the chat demo of real-time outputs. See [Evaluation.md](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/main/docs/Evaluation.md). ### GPT-assisted Evaluation Our GPT-assisted evaluation pipeline for multimodal modeling is provided for a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of vision-language models. Please see our paper for more details. 1. Generate LLaVA responses ```Shell python model_vqa.py \ --model-path ./checkpoints/LLaVA-13B-v0 \ --question-file \ playground/data/coco2014_val_qa_eval/qa90_questions.jsonl \ --image-folder \ /path/to/coco2014_val \ --answers-file \ /path/to/answer-file-our.jsonl ``` 2. Evaluate the generated responses. In our case, [`answer-file-ref.jsonl`](./playground/data/coco2014_val_qa_eval/qa90_gpt4_answer.jsonl) is the response generated by text-only GPT-4 (0314), with the context captions/boxes provided. ```Shell OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-***********************************" python llava/eval/eval_gpt_review_visual.py \ --question playground/data/coco2014_val_qa_eval/qa90_questions.jsonl \ --context llava/eval/table/caps_boxes_coco2014_val_80.jsonl \ --answer-list \ /path/to/answer-file-ref.jsonl \ /path/to/answer-file-our.jsonl \ --rule llava/eval/table/rule.json \ --output /path/to/review.json ``` 3. Summarize the evaluation results ```Shell python summarize_gpt_review.py ``` ## Citation If you find LLaVA useful for your research and applications, please cite using this BibTeX: ```bibtex @misc{liu2024llavanext, title={LLaVA-NeXT: Improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge}, url={https://llava-vl.github.io/blog/2024-01-30-llava-next/}, author={Liu, Haotian and Li, Chunyuan and Li, Yuheng and Li, Bo and Zhang, Yuanhan and Shen, Sheng and Lee, Yong Jae}, month={January}, year={2024} } @misc{liu2023improvedllava, title={Improved Baselines with Visual Instruction Tuning}, author={Liu, Haotian and Li, Chunyuan and Li, Yuheng and Lee, Yong Jae}, publisher={arXiv:2310.03744}, year={2023}, } @misc{liu2023llava, title={Visual Instruction Tuning}, author={Liu, Haotian and Li, Chunyuan and Wu, Qingyang and Lee, Yong Jae}, publisher={NeurIPS}, year={2023}, } ``` ## Acknowledgement - [Vicuna](https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat): the codebase we built upon, and our base model Vicuna-13B that has the amazing language capabilities! ## Related Projects - [Instruction Tuning with GPT-4](https://github.com/Instruction-Tuning-with-GPT-4/GPT-4-LLM) - [LLaVA-Med: Training a Large Language-and-Vision Assistant for Biomedicine in One Day](https://github.com/microsoft/LLaVA-Med) - [Otter: In-Context Multi-Modal Instruction Tuning](https://github.com/Luodian/Otter) For future project ideas, please check out: - [SEEM: Segment Everything Everywhere All at Once](https://github.com/UX-Decoder/Segment-Everything-Everywhere-All-At-Once) - [Grounded-Segment-Anything](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/Grounded-Segment-Anything) to detect, segment, and generate anything by marrying [Grounding DINO](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/GroundingDINO) and [Segment-Anything](https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything).
