# InternChat [[paper](https://pjlab-gvm-data.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/papers/ichat.pdf)]


<!-- ## Description -->
**InternChat**(short for **iChat**) is pointing-language-driven visual interactive system, allowing you to interact with ChatGPT by clicking, dragging and drawing using a pointing device. The name InternChat stands for **inter**action, **n**onverbal, and **chat**bots. Different from existing interactive systems that rely on pure language, by incorporating pointing instructions, iChat significantly improves the efficiency of communication between users and chatbots, as well as the accuracy of chatbots in vision-centric tasks, especially in complicated visual scenarios. Additionally, in iChat, an auxiliary control mechanism is used to improve the control capability of LLM, and a large vision-language model termed **Husky** is fine-tuned for high-quality multi-modal dialogue (impressing ChatGPT-3.5-turbo with **93.89% GPT-4 Quality**).

## Online Demo
[**InternChat**](https://ichat.opengvlab.com/) is online. Let's try it!

[**NOTE**] It is possible that you are waiting in a lengthy queue. You can clone our repo and run it with your private GPU.

## 🛠️ Installation

### Basic requirements

- Linux
- Python 3.8+
- PyTorch 1.12+
- CUDA 11.6+ 
- GCC & G++ 5.4+
- GPU Memory >= 17G for loading basic tools (HuskyVQA, SegmentAnything, ImageOCRRecognition)

### Install Python dependencies
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Model zoo
Coming soon...

## 👨‍🏫 Get Started 
Running the following shell can start a gradio service:
```shell
python -u iChatApp.py --load "HuskyVQA_cuda:0,SegmentAnything_cuda:0,ImageOCRRecognition_cuda:0" --port 3456
```

if you want to enable the voice assistant, please use `openssl` to generate the certificate:
```shell
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ./key.pem -out ./cert.pem -sha256 -days 365 -nodes
```

and then run:
```shell
python -u iChatApp.py --load "HuskyVQA_cuda:0,SegmentAnything_cuda:0,ImageOCRRecognition_cuda:0" --port 3456 --https
```
