# Heron GIT Japanese StableLM Base 7B

![heron](./heron_image.png)

## Model Details
Heron GIT Japanese StableLM Base 7B is a vision-language model that can converse about input images.<br>
This model was trained using [the heron library](https://github.com/turingmotors/heron). Please refer to the code for details.


## Usage

Follow [the installation guide](https://github.com/turingmotors/heron/tree/dev-0.0.1#1-clone-this-repository). 

```python
import requests
from PIL import Image

import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor
from heron.models.git_llm.git_japanese_stablelm_alpha import GitJapaneseStableLMAlphaForCausalLM

device_id = 0

# prepare a pretrained model
model = GitJapaneseStableLMAlphaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    'turing-motors/heron-chat-git-ja-stablelm-base-7b-v0', torch_dtype=torch.float16
)
model.eval()
model.to(f"cuda:{device_id}")

# prepare a processor
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained('turing-motors/heron-chat-git-ja-stablelm-base-7b-v0')

# prepare inputs
url = "https://www.barnorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/03-Confusing-Pictures.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

text = f"##human: これは何の写真ですか？\n##gpt: "

# do preprocessing
inputs = processor(
    text,
    image,
    return_tensors="pt",
    truncation=True,
)
inputs = {k: v.to(f"cuda:{device_id}") for k, v in inputs.items()}

# set eos token
eos_token_id_list = [
    processor.tokenizer.pad_token_id,
    processor.tokenizer.eos_token_id,
]

# do inference
with torch.no_grad():
    out = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=256, do_sample=False, temperature=0., eos_token_id=eos_token_id_list)

# print result
print(processor.tokenizer.batch_decode(out)[0])
```


## Model Details
* **Developed by**: [Turing Inc.](https://www.turing-motors.com/)
* **Adaptor type**: [GIT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14100)
* **Lamguage Model**: [Japanese StableLM Base Alpha](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-alpha-7b)

### Training
This model was initially trained with the Adaptor using STAIR Captions. In the second phase, it was fine-tuned with LLaVA-Instruct-150K-JA and Japanese Visual Genome using LoRA.

### Training Dataset

- [LLaVA-Instruct-150K-JA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/turing-motors/LLaVA-Instruct-150K-JA)
- [Japanese STAIR Captions](http://captions.stair.center/)
- [Japanese Visual Genome VQA dataset](https://github.com/yahoojapan/ja-vg-vqa)

## Use and Limitations

### Intended Use

This model is intended for use in chat-like applications and for research purposes.

### Limitations

The model may produce inaccurate or false information, and its accuracy is not guaranteed. It is still in the research and development stage.
