Welcome to our open source implementation of DeepMind's [Flamingo](https://www.deepmind.com/blog/tackling-multiple-tasks-with-a-single-visual-language-model)! 

In this repository, we provide a PyTorch implementation for training and evaluating OpenFlamingo models.
If you have any questions, please feel free to open an issue. We also welcome contributions!

# Installation

To install the package in an existing environment, run 
```
pip install open-flamingo
```

or to create a conda environment for running OpenFlamingo, run
```
conda env create -f environment.yml
```

# Approach
OpenFlamingo is a multimodal language model that can be used for a variety of tasks. It is trained on a large multimodal dataset (e.g. Multimodal C4) and can be used to generate text conditioned on interleaved images/text. For example, OpenFlamingo can be used to generate a caption for an image, or to generate a question given an image and a text passage. The benefit of this approach is that we are able to rapidly adapt to new tasks using in-context learning.

## Model architecture
OpenFlamingo combines a pretrained vision encoder and a language model using cross attention layers. The model architecture is shown below.

# Usage
## Initializing an OpenFlamingo model
We support pretrained vision encoders from the [OpenCLIP](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip) package, which includes OpenAI's pretrained models. 
We also support pretrained language models from the `transformers` package, such as [MPT](https://huggingface.co/models?search=mosaicml%20mpt), [RedPajama](https://huggingface.co/models?search=redpajama), [LLaMA](https://huggingface.co/models?search=llama), [OPT](https://huggingface.co/models?search=opt), [GPT-Neo](https://huggingface.co/models?search=gpt-neo), [GPT-J](https://huggingface.co/models?search=gptj), and [Pythia](https://huggingface.co/models?search=pythia) models.

``` python
from open_flamingo import create_model_and_transforms

model, image_processor, tokenizer = create_model_and_transforms(
    clip_vision_encoder_path="ViT-L-14",
    clip_vision_encoder_pretrained="openai",
    lang_encoder_path="anas-awadalla/mpt-1b-redpajama-200b",
    tokenizer_path="anas-awadalla/mpt-1b-redpajama-200b",
    cross_attn_every_n_layers=1
)
```

## Released OpenFlamingo models
We have trained the following OpenFlamingo models so far.

|# params|Language model|Vision encoder|Xattn frequency*|COCO 4-shot CIDEr**|VQAv2 4-shot Accuracy**|Weights|

*\* Xattn frequency refers to the `--cross_attn_every_n_layers` argument.*

*\*\* 4-shot COCO and VQAv2 performances were calculated over a sample of 5000 test split examples, following the [Flamingo paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.14198).*

Note: as part of our v2 release, we have deprecated a previous LLaMA-based checkpoint. However, you can continue to use our older checkpoint using the new codebase.

## Downloading pretrained weights

To instantiate an OpenFlamingo model with one of our released weights, initialize the model as above and use the following code.

```python
# grab model checkpoint from huggingface hub
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import torch

checkpoint_path = hf_hub_download("openflamingo/OpenFlamingo-3B-vitl-mpt1b", "checkpoint.pt")
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(checkpoint_path), strict=False)
```

## Generating text
Below is an example of generating text conditioned on interleaved images/text. In particular, let's try few-shot image captioning.

``` python
from PIL import Image
import requests

"""
Step 1: Load images
"""
demo_image_one = Image.open(
    requests.get(
        "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg", stream=True
    ).raw
)

demo_image_two = Image.open(
    requests.get(
        "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000028137.jpg",
        stream=True
    ).raw
)

query_image = Image.open(
    requests.get(
        "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000028352.jpg", 
        stream=True
    ).raw
)


"""
Step 2: Preprocessing images
Details: For OpenFlamingo, we expect the image to be a torch tensor of shape 
 batch_size x num_media x num_frames x channels x height x width. 
 In this case batch_size = 1, num_media = 3, num_frames = 1,
 channels = 3, height = 224, width = 224.
"""
vision_x = [image_processor(demo_image_one).unsqueeze(0), image_processor(demo_image_two).unsqueeze(0), image_processor(query_image).unsqueeze(0)]
vision_x = torch.cat(vision_x, dim=0)
vision_x = vision_x.unsqueeze(1).unsqueeze(0)

"""
Step 3: Preprocessing text
Details: In the text we expect an <image> special token to indicate where an image is.
 We also expect an <|endofchunk|> special token to indicate the end of the text 
 portion associated with an image.
"""
tokenizer.padding_side = "left" # For generation padding tokens should be on the left
lang_x = tokenizer(
    ["<image>An image of two cats.<|endofchunk|><image>An image of a bathroom sink.<|endofchunk|><image>An image of"],
    return_tensors="pt",
)


"""
Step 4: Generate text
"""
generated_text = model.generate(
    vision_x=vision_x,
    lang_x=lang_x["input_ids"],
    attention_mask=lang_x["attention_mask"],
    max_new_tokens=20,
    num_beams=3,
)

print("Generated text: ", tokenizer.decode(generated_text[0]))
```

# Training

```

*Note: The MPT-1B [base](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-1b-redpajama-200b)  and [instruct](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-1b-redpajama-200b-dolly) modeling code does not accept the `labels` kwarg or compute cross-entropy loss directly within `forward()`, as expected by our codebase. We suggest using a modified version of the MPT-1B models found [here](https://huggingface.co/anas-awadalla/mpt-1b-redpajama-200b) and [here](https://huggingface.co/anas-awadalla/mpt-1b-redpajama-200b-dolly).*

For more details, see our [training README](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_flamingo/tree/main/open_flamingo/train).


# Evaluation
An example evaluation script is at `open_flamingo/scripts/run_eval.sh`. Please see our [evaluation README](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_flamingo/tree/main/open_flamingo/eval) for more details.

Before evaluating the model, you will need to install the coco evaluation package by running the following command:
```
pip install pycocoevalcap
```

To run evaluations on OKVQA you will need to run the following command:
```
import nltk
nltk.download('wordnet')
```


# Future plans
- [ ] Add support for video input
