# LLaVA Model Card

## Model details

**Model type:**
LLaVA is an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA/Vicuna on GPT-generated multimodal instruction-following data.
It is an auto-regressive language model, based on the transformer architecture.

**Model date:**
LLaVA-v1.5-7B was trained in September 2023.

## Intended use
**Primary intended uses:**
The primary use of LLaVA is research on large multimodal models and chatbots.

**Primary intended users:**
The primary intended users of the model are researchers and hobbyists in computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

## Training dataset
- 558K filtered image-text pairs from LAION/CC/SBU, captioned by BLIP.
- 158K GPT-generated multimodal instruction-following data.
- 450K academic-task-oriented VQA data mixture.
- 40K ShareGPT data.

## Evaluation dataset
A collection of 12 benchmarks, including 5 academic VQA benchmarks and 7 recent benchmarks specifically proposed for instruction-following LMMs.

## Usage
usage is as follows 

```python
from transformers import LlavaProcessor, LlavaForCausalLM
from PIL import Image
import requests
import torch

PATH_TO_CONVERTED_WEIGHTS = "shauray/Llava-1.5-7B-hf"

model = LlavaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_WEIGHTS,
device_map="cuda",torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
processor = LlavaProcessor.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_WEIGHTS)

url = "https://llava-vl.github.io/static/images/view.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw).convert("RGB")
prompt = "How can you best describe this image?"

inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda",
torch.float16)
# Generate
generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, 
    do_sample=True,
    max_length=1024,
    temperature=0.1,
    top_p=0.9,
)
out = processor.decode(generate_ids[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip()

print(out)

nature and human-made structures at their finest moments of beauty or tranquility depending upon one's perspective as they gaze into it"""
