LLaVA-NeXT

Overview

The LLaVA-NeXT model was proposed in LLaVA-NeXT: Improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge by Haotian Liu, Chunyuan Li, Yuheng Li, Bo Li, Yuanhan Zhang, Sheng Shen, Yong Jae Lee. LLaVa-NeXT (also called LLaVa-1.6) improves upon LLaVa by increasing the input image resolution and training on an improved visual instruction tuning dataset to improve OCR and common sense reasoning.

The introduction from the blog is the following:

*In October 2023, we released LLaVA-1.5 with a simple and efficient design along with great performance on a benchmark suite of 12 datasets. It has since served as the foundation of many comprehensive studies of data, model, and capabilities of large multimodal models (LMM), and has enabled various new applications.

Today, we are thrilled to present LLaVA-NeXT, with improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge. LLaVA-NeXT even exceeds Gemini Pro on several benchmarks.

Compared with LLaVA-1.5, LLaVA-NeXT has several improvements:

Increasing the input image resolution to 4x more pixels. This allows it to grasp more visual details. It supports three aspect ratios, up to 672x672, 336x1344, 1344x336 resolution. Better visual reasoning and OCR capability with an improved visual instruction tuning data mixture. Better visual conversation for more scenarios, covering different applications. Better world knowledge and logical reasoning. Efficient deployment and inference with SGLang. Along with performance improvements, LLaVA-NeXT maintains the minimalist design and data efficiency of LLaVA-1.5. It re-uses the pretrained connector of LLaVA-1.5, and still uses less than 1M visual instruction tuning samples. The largest 34B variant finishes training in ~1 day with 32 A100s.*

LLaVa-NeXT incorporates a higher input resolution by encoding various patches of the input image. Taken from the original paper.

This model was contributed by nielsr. The original code can be found here.

Usage tips

We advise users to use padding_side="left" when computing batched generation as it leads to more accurate results. Simply make sure to call processor.tokenizer.padding_side = "left" before generating.

Llava-Next uses different number of patches for images and thus has to pad the inputs inside modeling code, aside from the padding done when processing the inputs. The default setting is “left-padding” if model is in eval() mode, otherwise “right-padding”.

Note that each checkpoint has been trained with a specific prompt format, depending on which large language model (LLM) was used. You can use the processor’s apply_chat_template to format your prompts correctly. For that you have to construct a conversation history, passing a plain string will not format your prompt. Each message in the conversation history for chat templates is a dictionary with keys “role” and “content”. The “content” should be a list of dictionaries, for “text” and “image” modalities. Below is an example of how to do that and the list of formats accepted by each checkpoint.

We will use llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf and a conversation history of text and image. Each content field has to be a list of dicts, as follows:

from transformers import LlavaNextProcessor

processor = LlavaNextProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What’s shown in this image?"},
        ],
    },
    {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "This image shows a red stop sign."},]
    },
    {

        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe the image in more details."},
        ],
    },
]

text_prompt = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True)

# Note that the template simply formats your prompt, you still have to tokenize it and obtain pixel values for your images
print(text_prompt)
>>> "[INST] <image>\nWhat's shown in this image? [/INST] This image shows a red stop sign. [INST] Describe the image in more details. [/INST]"

If you want to construct a chat prompt yourself, below is a list of possible formats . llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf requires the following format:

"[INST] <image>\nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST]"

llava-v1.6-vicuna-7b-hf and llava-v1.6-vicuna-13b-hf require the following format:

"A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the human's questions. USER: <image>\nWhat is shown in this image? ASSISTANT:"

llava-v1.6-34b-hf requires the following format:

"<|im_start|>system\nAnswer the questions.<|im_end|><|im_start|>user\n<image>\nWhat is shown in this image?<|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant\n"

llama3-llava-next-8b-hf requires the following format:

"<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>\n\nYou are a helpful language and vision assistant. You are able to understand the visual content that the user provides, and assist the user with a variety of tasks using natural language.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\n<image>\nWhat is shown in this image?<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n"

llava-next-72b-hf and llava-next-110b-hf require the following format:

"<|im_start|>system\nYou are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n<image>\nWhat is shown in this image?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n"

Usage example

Single image inference

Here’s how to load the model and perform inference in half-precision (torch.float16):

from transformers import LlavaNextProcessor, LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration
import torch
from PIL import Image
import requests

processor = LlavaNextProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True)
model.to("cuda:0")

# prepare image and text prompt, using the appropriate prompt template
url = "https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/1a91fc274d7c35a9b50b3cb29c4247ae5837ce39/images/llava_v1_5_radar.jpg?raw=true"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ],
    },
]
prompt = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = processor(image, prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda:0")

# autoregressively complete prompt
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)

print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Multi image inference

LLaVa-Next can perform inference with multiple images as input, where images either belong to the same prompt or different prompts (in batched inference). Here is how you can do it:

import requests
from PIL import Image
import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

# Load the model in half-precision
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

# Get three different images
url = "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"
image_stop = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image_cats = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

url = "https://huggingface.co./microsoft/kosmos-2-patch14-224/resolve/main/snowman.jpg"
image_snowman = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

# Prepare a batch of two prompts, where the first one is a multi-turn conversation and the second is not
conversation_1 = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
            ],
    },
    {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "There is a red stop sign in the image."},
            ],
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What about this image? How many cats do you see?"},
            ],
    },
]

conversation_2 = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
            ],
    },
]

prompt_1 = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation_1, add_generation_prompt=True)
prompt_2 = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation_2, add_generation_prompt=True)
prompts = [prompt_1, prompt_2]

# We can simply feed images in the order they have to be used in the text prompt
# Each "<image>" token uses one image leaving the next for the subsequent "<image>" tokens
inputs = processor(images=[image_stop, image_cats, image_snowman], text=prompts, padding=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

# Generate
generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=30)
processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)

Model optimization

Quantization using Bitsandbytes

The model can be loaded in 8 or 4 bits, greatly reducing the memory requirements while maintaining the performance of the original model. First make sure to install bitsandbytes, pip install bitsandbytes, and to have access to a GPU/accelerator that is supported by the library.

bitsandbytes is being refactored to support multiple backends beyond CUDA. Currently, ROCm (AMD GPU) and Intel CPU implementations are mature, with Intel XPU in progress and Apple Silicon support expected by Q4/Q1. For installation instructions and the latest backend updates, visit this link.

We value your feedback to help identify bugs before the full release! Check out these docs for more details and feedback links.

Simply change the snippet above with:

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, BitsAndBytesConfig

# specify how to quantize the model
quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16,
)

model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf", quantization_config=quantization_config, device_map="auto")

Use Flash-Attention 2 to further speed-up generation

First make sure to install flash-attn. Refer to the original repository of Flash Attention regarding that package installation. Simply change the snippet above with:

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText

model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    use_flash_attention_2=True
).to(0)

Parameters

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

What are input IDs?
pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)) — The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using AutoImageProcessor. See LlavaNextImageProcessor.call() for details. LlavaProcessor uses LlavaNextImageProcessor for processing images.
image_sizes (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, 2), optional) — The sizes of the images in the batch, being (height, width) for each image.
attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 for tokens that are not masked,
- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?

Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_input_ids have to be input (see past_key_values).

If you want to change padding behavior, you should read modeling_opt._prepare_decoder_attention_mask and modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in the paper for more information on the default strategy.
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
position_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.n_positions - 1]. What are position IDs?
past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)), optional, returned when use_cache=True is passed or when config.use_cache=True) — Tuple of tuple(torch.FloatTensor) of length config.n_layers, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)) and 2 additional tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, encoder_sequence_length, embed_size_per_head).

Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values input) to speed up sequential decoding.

If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).
inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
vision_feature_layer (int, optional, defaults to -2) — The index of the layer to select the vision feature.
vision_feature_select_strategy (str, optional, defaults to "default") — The feature selection strategy used to select the vision feature from the vision backbone. Can be one of "default" or "full". If "default", the CLS token is removed from the vision features. If "full", the full vision features are used.
use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.
return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
cache_position (torch.LongTensor of shape (sequence_length), optional) — Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to position_ids, this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer the complete sequence length.

Args — labels (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional): Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in [0, ..., config.vocab_size] or -100 (see input_ids docstring). Tokens with indices set to -100 are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in [0, ..., config.vocab_size].

num_logits_to_keep (int, optional): Calculate logits for the last num_logits_to_keep tokens. If 0, calculate logits for all input_ids (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.

Returns

transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

A transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (LlavaNextConfig) and inputs.

loss (torch.FloatTensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) — Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
logits (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)) — Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)), optional, returned when use_cache=True is passed or when config.use_cache=True) — Tuple of tuple(torch.FloatTensor) of length config.n_layers, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head))

Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values input) to speed up sequential decoding.
hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
attentions (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.
image_hidden_states (torch.FloatTensor, optional) — A torch.FloatTensor of size (batch_size * num_patches, num_images, sequence_length, hidden_size)`. image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder and after projecting the last hidden state.

The LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> import requests
>>> from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration

>>> model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")
>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

>>> prompt = "[INST] <image>\nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST]"
>>> url = "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"
>>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

>>> inputs = processor(images=image, text=prompt, return_tensors="pt")

>>> # Generate
>>> generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=30)
>>> processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
"[INST]  \nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST] The image appears to be a radar chart, which is a type of multi-dimensional plot (...)"
