# 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](https://huggingface.co/papers/2304.08485) and improved in [Improved Baselines with Visual Instruction Tuning](https://huggingface.co/papers/2310.03744) 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*

This model was contributed by [ArthurZ](https://huggingface.co/ArthurZ) and [ybelkada](https://huggingface.co/ybelkada).

## 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 `` 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.

### Formatting Prompts with Chat Templates  

Each **checkpoint** is trained with a specific prompt format, depending on the underlying large language model backbone. To ensure correct formatting, use the processor's `apply_chat_template` method.  

**Important:**  

- You must construct a conversation history — passing a plain string won't work.  
- Each message should be a dictionary with `"role"` and `"content"` keys.  
- The `"content"` should be a list of dictionaries for different modalities like `"text"` and `"image"`.  

Here's an example of how to structure your input.
We will use [llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf](https://huggingface.co/llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf) and a conversation history of text and image. Each content field has to be a list of dicts, as follows:

```python
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: \nUSER: Describe the image in more details. ASSISTANT:"
```

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

[llava-interleave models](https://huggingface.co/collections/llava-hf/llava-interleave-668e19a97da0036aad4a2f19) requires the following format:

```bash
"user \nWhat is shown in this image?assistant"
```

For multiple turns conversation:

```bash
"user \nassistant user \nassistant "
```

[llava-1.5 models](https://huggingface.co/collections/llava-hf/llava-15-65f762d5b6941db5c2ba07e0) requires the following format:

```bash
"USER: \n ASSISTANT:"
```

For multiple turns conversation:

```bash
"USER: \n ASSISTANT: USER:  ASSISTANT: USER:  ASSISTANT:"
```

🚀 **Bonus:** If you're using `transformers>=4.49.0`, you can also get a vectorized output from `apply_chat_template`. See the **Usage Examples** below for more details on how to use it.

## Usage examples

### Single input inference

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaForConditionalGeneration

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

conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ],
    },
]

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    conversation,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=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)
```

### Batched inference

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

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaForConditionalGeneration

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

# Prepare a batch of two prompts
conversation_1 = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ],
    },
]

conversation_2 = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ],
    },
]

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    [conversation_1, conversation_2],
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    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)
```

## Note regarding reproducing original implementation

In order to match the logits of the [original implementation](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/tree/main), one needs to additionally specify `do_pad=True` when instantiating `LlavaImageProcessor`:

```python
from transformers import LlavaImageProcessor

image_processor = LlavaImageProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf", do_pad=True)
```

### Using Flash Attention 2

Flash Attention 2 is an even faster, optimized version of the previous optimization, please refer to the [Flash Attention 2 section of performance docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perf_infer_gpu_one).

Can be one of: - `"channels_first"` or `ChannelDimension.FIRST`: image in (num_channels, height, width) format. - `"channels_last"` or `ChannelDimension.LAST`: image in (height, width, num_channels) format. - `"none"` or `ChannelDimension.NONE`: image in (height, width) format.

device (`Annotated[Union[str, torch.device, NoneType], None]`) : The device to process the images on. If unset, the device is inferred from the input images.

return_tensors (`Annotated[Union[str, ~utils.generic.TensorType, NoneType], None]`) : Returns stacked tensors if set to `pt, otherwise returns a list of tensors.

disable_grouping (`bool`, *optional*) : Whether to disable grouping of images by size to process them individually and not in batches. If None, will be set to True if the images are on CPU, and False otherwise. This choice is based on empirical observations, as detailed here: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/38157

image_seq_length (`int`, *optional*) : The number of image tokens to be used for each image in the input. Added for backward compatibility but this should be set as a processor attribute in future models.

**Returns:**

````

- **data** (`dict`) -- Dictionary of lists/arrays/tensors returned by the __call__ method ('pixel_values', etc.).
- **tensor_type** (`Union[None, str, TensorType]`, *optional*) -- You can give a tensor_type here to convert the lists of integers in PyTorch/Numpy Tensors at

config ([LlavaConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/model_doc/llava#transformers.LlavaConfig)) : 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()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**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](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/model_doc/llava#transformers.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** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  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.
