🔥 High performance, but with fewer parameters

• Our best model, TinyLLaVA-3.1B, achieves better overall performance against existing 7B models such as LLaVA-1.5 and Qwen-VL.

🔧 Requirements and Installation

We recommend the requirements as follows.

1. Clone this repository and navigate to LLaVA folder

git clone https://github.com/DLCV-BUAA/TinyLLaVABench.git
cd TinyLLaVABench

2. Install Package

conda create -n tinyllava python=3.10 -y
conda activate tinyllava
pip install --upgrade pip  # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e .

3. Install additional packages for training cases

pip install -e ".[train]"
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Upgrade to the latest code base

git pull
pip install -e .

# if you see some import errors when you upgrade, please try running the command below (without #)
# pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation --no-cache-dir

Model Details

Demo

Gradio Web Demo

Launch a local web demo by running:

python tinyllava/serve/app.py --model-path bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B --model-name TinyLLaVA-3.1B

CLI Inference

We also support running inference with CLI. To use our model, run:

python -m tinyllava.serve.cli \
    --model-path bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B \
    --image-file "./tinyllava/serve/examples/extreme_ironing.jpg" 

🔧 Quick Start

from tinyllava.model.builder import load_pretrained_model
from tinyllava.mm_utils import get_model_name_from_path
from tinyllava.eval.run_tiny_llava import eval_model

model_path = "bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B"

tokenizer, model, image_processor, context_len = load_pretrained_model(
    model_path=model_path,
    model_base=None,
    model_name=get_model_name_from_path(model_path)
)

🔧 Run Inference

Here's an example of running inference with TinyLLaVA-3.1B

from tinyllava.model.builder import load_pretrained_model
from tinyllava.mm_utils import get_model_name_from_path
from tinyllava.eval.run_tiny_llava import eval_model

model_path = "bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B"
prompt = "What are the things I should be cautious about when I visit here?"
image_file = "https://llava-vl.github.io/static/images/view.jpg"

args = type('Args', (), {
    "model_path": model_path,
    "model_base": None,
    "model_name": get_model_name_from_path(model_path),
    "query": prompt,
    "conv_mode": "phi",
    "image_file": image_file,
    "sep": ",",
    "temperature": 0,
    "top_p": None,
    "num_beams": 1,
    "max_new_tokens": 512
})()

eval_model(args)

Important

We use different conv_mode for different models. Replace the conv_mode in args according to this table:

Evaluation

To ensure the reproducibility, we evaluate the models with greedy decoding.

See Evaluation.md

Data Preparation

In our paper, we used two different datasets: the LLaVA dataset and the ShareGPT4V dataset, and compared their differences. In this section, we provide information on data preparation.

Pretraining Images

• LLaVA: The pretraining images of LLaVA is from the 558K subset of the LAION-CC-SBU dataset.
• ShareGPT4V: The pretraining images of ShareGPT4V is a mixture of 558K LAION-CC-SBU subset, SAM dataset, and COCO dataset.

Pretraining Annotations

• LLaVA: The pretraining annotations of LLaVA are here.
• ShareGPT4V: The pretraining annotations of ShareGPT4V are here.

SFT Images & Annotations

The majority of the two SFT datasets are the same, with the exception that the 23K detailed description data in LLaVA-1.5-SFT being replaced with detailed captions randomly sampled from the 100K ShareGPT4V data.

Download data

1. Download relevant images

• LAION-CC-SBU-558K: images.zip
• COCO: This dataset is from the COCO2017 challenge. Download: train2017
• WebData: This dataset is curated by the ShareGPT4V project. Download: images. Only for academic usage.
• SAM: This dataset is collected by Meta. Download: images. We only use 000000~000050.tar for now. If you just want to use ShareGPT4V for SFT, you can quickly download 9K images from here.
• GQA: GQA project page. Download: images
• OCR-VQA: OCR-VQA project page. Download: download script. We save all files as .jpg
