CrystalChat-7B-MLLM: a fully-reproducible vision large language model based on CrystalChat-7B LLM

Crystal-based models mimics the training recipie used for Vicuna 7B in LLaVA muli... (MLLM). Crystal-based models are entirely transparent, having open-sourced all materials, including code, data, model checkpoint, intermediate results, and more.

Evaluation

General Evaluation Metrics for MLLMs. MME serves as an extensive evaluative benchmark, aiming to assess perceptual and cognitive capability of MLLMs within 14 sub-tasks. Additionally, we also evaluate the performance of our models on text-oriented visual question answering tasks employing a diverse set of benchmark datasets including ScienceQA and TextVQA. Furthermore, we assess our models’ ability toward anti-hallucination through POPE.

Datasets and Mix

Pretrain Data

LLaVA Visual Instruct Pretrain LCS-558K is a filtered subset of the LAION, CC, and SBU datasets, featuring a more balanced distribution of concept coverage. The file includes multimodal synthesized conversations generated from image-caption pairs by incorporating randomly selected instructions such as "Describe this image." It is used for pretraining in LLaVA, with the raw CC-3M caption serving as the default answer.

Finetune

The dataset chosen was created by LLaVA with academic-task-oriented VQA data mixture and data from ShareGPT. LLaVA Visual Instruct 150K is a dataset of GPT-generated multimodal instruction-following data. It is designed for visual instruction tuning and aims to develop large multimodal models with capabilities akin to GPT-4 in both vision and language.

LLM-360

LLM-360 is an open research lab enabling community-owned AGI through open-source large model research and development.

Crystal-based Models enables community-owned AGI by creating standards and tools to advance the bleeding edge of LLM capability and empower knowledge transfer, research, and development.

We believe in a future where artificial general intelligence (AGI) is created by the community, for the community. Through an open ecosystem of equitable computational resources, high-quality data, and flowing technical knowledge, we can ensure ethical AGI development and universal access for all innovators.
