LLaMA-3-V: Extending the Visual Capabilities of LLaVA with Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct

Repository Overview

This repository features LLaVA v1.5 trained with the Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct LLM. This integration aims to leverage the strengths of both models to offer advanced vision-language understanding.

Training Strategy

• Pretraining: Only Vision-to-Language projector is trained. The rest of the model is frozen.
• Fine-tuning: LLM is LoRA fine-tuned. Only the vision-backbone (CLIP) is kept frozen.
• Note: The repository contains merged weights.

Key Components

• Base Large Language Model (LLM): Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
• Base Large Multimodal Model (LMM): LLaVA-v1.5

Training Data

• Pretraining Dataset: LCS-558K
• Fine-tuning Dataset: LLaVA-Instruct-665K
