### 🔥 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
```bash
git clone https://github.com/DLCV-BUAA/TinyLLaVABench.git
cd TinyLLaVABench
```
2. Install Package
```Shell
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
```Shell
pip install -e ".[train]"
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
```
### Upgrade to latest code base
```Shell
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
```
## 🔧 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)
