## Demo
### Gradio Web Demo
Launch a local web demo by running:
```shell
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:
```shell
python -m tinyllava.serve.cli \
--model-path bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B \
--image-file "./tinyllava/serve/examples/extreme_ironing.jpg"
```
## 🔧 Quick Start
Load model
```Python
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](https://huggingface.co./bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B)
Run Inference
```Python
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:
| model | conv_mode |
|---------------- |----------- |
| TinyLLaVA-3.1B | phi |
| TinyLLaVA-2.0B | phi |
| TinyLLaVA-1.5B | v1 |
## Evaluation
To ensure the reproducibility, we evaluate the models with greedy decoding.
See [Evaluation.md](https://github.com/DLCV-BUAA/TinyLLaVABench/blob/main/docs/Evaluation.md)
## Data Preparation
In our paper, we used two different datasets: the [LLaVA dataset](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA?tab=readme-ov-file#pretrain-feature-alignment) and the [ShareGPT4V dataset](https://github.com/InternLM/InternLM-XComposer/blob/main/projects/ShareGPT4V/docs/Data.md), 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](https://huggingface.co./datasets/liuhaotian/LLaVA-Pretrain).
* ShareGPT4V: The pretraining annotations of ShareGPT4V are [here](https://huggingface.co./datasets/Lin-Chen/ShareGPT4V/blob/main/share-captioner_coco_lcs_sam_1246k_1107.json).
### 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](https://huggingface.co./datasets/Lin-Chen/ShareGPT4V/blob/main/sharegpt4v_instruct_gpt4-vision_cap100k.json).
