# VCoder-DS LLaVA-1.5-7b

VCoder-DS LLaVA-1.5-7b was trained on COST training dataset in December 2023. It uses the pretrained [LLaVA-1.5-7b](https://huggingface.co/liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b) model weights. It was introduced by Jain et al. in [this repository](https://github.com/SHI-Labs/VCoder).

VCoder is an adapter for improving existing Multimodal LLMs at object-level perception tasks with the use of perception modalities as control inputs while retaining performance on other tasks.
