This 9B-parameter model uses a [CLIP ViT-L/14](https://huggingface.co./openai/clip-vit-large-patch14) vision encoder and [MPT-7B](https://huggingface.co./mosaicml/mpt-7b) language model. ## Model Details We follow the Flamingo modeling paradigm, outfitting the layers of a pretrained, frozen language model such that they cross-attend to visual features when decoding. Following Flamingo, we freeze the vision encoder and language model but train the connecting modules on web-scraped image-text sequences. Specifically, we trained this model on a mixture of [LAION-2B](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08402) and [Multimodal C4](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.06939). This model has cross-attention modules inserted in *every fourth* decoder block. It was trained using DistributedDataParallel across 64 A100 80GB GPUs at automatic BF16 mixed precision. To use these MPT weights, OpenFlamingo must be initialized using revision `68e1a8e0ebb9b30f3c45c1ef6195980f29063ae2` of the MPT-7B modeling code. We suggest using [this copy of the model](https://huggingface.co./anas-awadalla/mpt-7b) to ensure the code is loaded at that commit. ## Uses OpenFlamingo models process arbitrarily interleaved sequences of images and text to output text. This allows the models to accept in-context examples and undertake tasks like captioning, visual question answering, and image classification. ### Initialization ``` python from open_flamingo import create_model_and_transforms model, image_processor, tokenizer = create_model_and_transforms( clip_vision_encoder_path="ViT-L-14", clip_vision_encoder_pretrained="openai", lang_encoder_path="anas-awadalla/mpt-7b", tokenizer_path="anas-awadalla/mpt-7b", cross_attn_every_n_layers=4 ) # grab model checkpoint from huggingface hub from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download import torch checkpoint_path = hf_hub_download("openflamingo/OpenFlamingo-9B-vitl-mpt7b", "checkpoint.pt") model.load_state_dict(torch.load(checkpoint_path), strict=False) ``` ### Generation example Below is an example of generating text conditioned on interleaved images/text. In particular, let's try few-shot image captioning. ``` python from PIL import Image import requests """ Step 1: Load images """ demo_image_one = Image.open( requests.get( "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg", stream=True ).raw ) demo_image_two = Image.open( requests.get( "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000028137.jpg", stream=True ).raw ) query_image = Image.open( requests.get( "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000028352.jpg", stream=True ).raw ) """ Step 2: Preprocessing images Details: For OpenFlamingo, we expect the image to be a torch tensor of shape batch_size x num_media x num_frames x channels x height x width. In this case batch_size = 1, num_media = 3, num_frames = 1, channels = 3, height = 224, width = 224. """ vision_x = [image_processor(demo_image_one).unsqueeze(0), image_processor(demo_image_two).unsqueeze(0), image_processor(query_image).unsqueeze(0)] vision_x = torch.cat(vision_x, dim=0) vision_x = vision_x.unsqueeze(1).unsqueeze(0) """ Step 3: Preprocessing text Details: In the text we expect an special token to indicate where an image is. We also expect an <|endofchunk|> special token to indicate the end of the text portion associated with an image. """ tokenizer.padding_side = "left" # For generation padding tokens should be on the left lang_x = tokenizer( ["An image of two cats.<|endofchunk|>An image of a bathroom sink.<|endofchunk|>An image of"], return_tensors="pt", ) """ Step 4: Generate text """ generated_text = model.generate( vision_x=vision_x, lang_x=lang_x["input_ids"], attention_mask=lang_x["attention_mask"], max_new_tokens=20, num_beams=3, ) print("Generated text: ", tokenizer.decode(generated_text[0])) ``` ### Bias, Risks, and Limitations OpenFlamingo models inherit the risks of their parent models, especially the language model. As an open-source research effort, we highly value open, accessible, reproducible multimodal model research; however, it is crucial to be aware that these models are trained on web data, have not been finetuned for safety, and thus may produce unintended, inappropriate, unreliable, and/or inaccurate outputs. Please use caution before deploying OpenFlamingo models in real applications. We also hope that OpenFlamingo enables further safety and reliability research to address these issues. In an effort to mitigate current potential biases and harms, we have deployed a text content filter on model outputs in the OpenFlamingo demo. We continue to red-team the model to understand and improve its safety. ## Evaluation
