LLaVa

##
Overview

LLaVa is an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LlamA/Vicuna on GPT-generated multimodal instruction-following data. It is an auto-regressive language model, based on the transformer architecture. In other words, it is an multi-modal version of LLMs fine-tuned for chat / instructions.

The LLaVa model was proposed in Visual Instruction Tuning and improved in Improved Baselines with Visual Instruction Tuning by Haotian Liu, Chunyuan Li, Yuheng Li and Yong Jae Lee.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Large multimodal models (LMM) have recently shown encouraging progress with visual instruction tuning. In this note, we show that the fully-connected vision-language cross-modal connector in LLaVA is surprisingly powerful and data-efficient. With simple modifications to LLaVA, namely, using CLIP-ViT-L-336px with an MLP projection and adding academic-task-oriented VQA data with simple response formatting prompts, we establish stronger baselines that achieve state-of-the-art across 11 benchmarks. Our final 13B checkpoint uses merely 1.2M publicly available data, and finishes full training in ∼1 day on a single 8-A100 node. We hope this can make state-of-the-art LMM research more accessible. Code and model will be publicly available

LLaVa architecture. Taken from the original paper.

This model was contributed by ArthurZ and ybelkada. 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.

- Note the model has not been explicitly trained to process multiple images in the same prompt, although this is technically possible, you may experience inaccurate results.

> [!NOTE] LLaVA models after release v4.46 will raise warnings about adding `processor.patch_size = {{patch_size}}`, `processor.num_additional_image_tokens = {{num_additional_image_tokens}}` and processor.vision_feature_select_strategy = {{vision_feature_select_strategy}}`. It is strongly recommended to add the attributes to the processor if you own the model checkpoint, or open a PR if it is not owned by you. Adding these attributes means that LLaVA will try to infer the number of image tokens required per image and expand the text with as many` <image>`placeholders as there will be tokens. Usually it is around 500 tokens per image, so make sure that the text is not truncated as otherwise there will be failure when merging the embeddings. The attributes can be obtained from model config, as`model.config.vision_config.patch_size`or`model.config.vision_feature_select_strategy`. The` num_additional_image_tokens`should be`1`if the vision backbone adds a CLS token or`0` if nothing extra is added to the vision patches.

###
Single image inference

For best results, we recommend users to use the processor’s `apply_chat_template()` method to format your prompt correctly. For that you need to construct a conversation history, passing in 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, as follows:

    from transformers import AutoProcessor

    processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-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)
    >>> "USER: <image>\n<What’s shown in this image? ASSISTANT: This image shows a red stop sign.</s>USER: Describe the image in more details. ASSISTANT:"

###
Batched inference

LLaVa also supports batched inference. Here is how you can do it:

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

    # Load the model in half-precision
    model = LlavaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
    processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf")

    # Get two 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)

    # Prepare a batch of two prompts
    conversation_1 = [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "image"},
                {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
            ],
        },
    ]

    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
    inputs = processor(images=[image_stop, image_cats], text=prompts, padding=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device, torch.float16)

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

- If you want to construct a chat prompt yourself, below is a list of prompt formats accepted by each llava checkpoint:

llava-interleave models requires the following format:

    "<|im_start|>user <image>\nWhat is shown in this image?<|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant"

For multiple turns conversation:

    "<|im_start|>user <image>\n<prompt1><|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant <answer1><|im_end|><|im_start|>user <image>\n<prompt1><|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant "

llava-1.5 models requires the following format:

    "USER: <image>\n<prompt> ASSISTANT:"

For multiple turns conversation:

    "USER: <image>\n<prompt1> ASSISTANT: <answer1></s>USER: <prompt2> ASSISTANT: <answer2></s>USER: <prompt3> ASSISTANT:"

##
Note regarding reproducing original implementation

In order to match the logits of the original implementation, one needs to additionally specify `do_pad=True` when instantiating `LLavaImageProcessor`:

    from transformers import LLavaImageProcessor

    image_processor = LLavaImageProcessor.from_pretrained("https://huggingface.co/llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf", do_pad=True)

Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the Llava-9B.

e.g. llava-hf/llava-9b

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import LlavaForConditionalGeneration, LlavaConfig, CLIPVisionConfig, LlamaConfig

    >>> # Initializing a CLIP-vision config
    >>> vision_config = CLIPVisionConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a Llama config
    >>> text_config = LlamaConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a Llava llava-1.5-7b style configuration
    >>> configuration = LlavaConfig(vision_config, text_config)

Parameters

- config (LlavaConfig or `LlavaVisionConfig`) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The LLAVA model which consists of a vision backbone and a language model. This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

`transformers.models.llava.modeling_llava.LlavaCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

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](/docs/transformers/pr_30803/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoImageProcessor). See [CLIPImageProcessor.__call__()](/docs/transformers/pr_30803/en/model_doc/deit#transformers.DeiTFeatureExtractor.__call__) for details ([]`LlavaProcessor`] uses CLIPImageProcessor for processing images).
- 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 (`Union[int, List[int]], *optional*, defaults to -2`) — The index of the layer to select the vision feature. If multiple indices are provided, the vision feature of the corresponding indices will be concatenated to form the vision features.
- 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"`.
- 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]`.

  logits_to_keep (`int` or `torch.Tensor`, optional): If an `int`, compute logits for the last `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. If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension. This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).

Returns

`transformers.models.llava.modeling_llava.LlavaCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A `transformers.models.llava.modeling_llava.LlavaCausalLMOutputWithPast` 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 (LlavaConfig) 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_images, sequence_length, hidden_size)`. image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder and after projecting the last hidden state.

The LlavaForConditionalGeneration 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, LlavaForConditionalGeneration

    >>> model = LlavaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf")
    >>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf")

    >>> prompt = "USER: <image>\nWhat's the content of the image? ASSISTANT:"
    >>> 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_new_tokens=15)
    >>> processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
    "USER:  \nWhat's the content of the image? ASSISTANT: The image features a busy city street with a stop sign prominently displayed"
