LLaVa-NeXT-Video

##
Overview

The LLaVa-NeXT-Video model was proposed in LLaVA-NeXT: A Strong Zero-shot Video Understanding Model by Yuanhan Zhang, Bo Li, Haotian Liu, Yong Jae Lee, Liangke Gui, Di Fu, Jiashi Feng, Ziwei Liu, Chunyuan Li. LLaVa-NeXT-Video improves upon LLaVa-NeXT by fine-tuning on a mix if video and image dataset thus increasing the model’s performance on videos.

LLaVA-NeXT surprisingly has strong performance in understanding video content in zero-shot fashion with the AnyRes technique that it uses. The AnyRes technique naturally represents a high-resolution image into multiple images. This technique is naturally generalizable to represent videos because videos can be considered as a set of frames (similar to a set of images in LLaVa-NeXT). The current version of LLaVA-NeXT makes use of AnyRes and trains with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on top of LLaVA-Next on video data to achieves better video understanding capabilities.The model is a current SOTA among open-source models on VideoMME bench.

The introduction from the blog is the following:

On January 30, 2024, we released LLaVA-NeXT, an open-source Large Multimodal Model (LMM) that has been trained exclusively on text-image data. With the proposed AnyRes technique, it boosts capabilities in reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge, demonstrating remarkable performance across a spectrum of image-based multimodal understanding tasks, and even exceeding Gemini-Pro on several image benchmarks, e.g. MMMU and MathVista.

**In today’s exploration, we delve into the performance of LLaVA-NeXT within the realm of video understanding tasks. We reveal that LLaVA-NeXT surprisingly has strong performance in understanding video content. The current version of LLaVA-NeXT for videos has several improvements:

- Zero-shot video representation capabilities with AnyRes: The AnyRes technique naturally represents a high-resolution image into multiple images that a pre-trained VIT is able to digest, and forms them into a concatenated sequence. This technique is naturally generalizable to represent videos (consisting of multiple frames), allowing the image-only-trained LLaVA-Next model to perform surprisingly well on video tasks. Notably, this is the first time that LMMs show strong zero-shot modality transfer ability.
- Inference with length generalization improves on longer videos. The linear scaling technique enables length generalization, allowing LLaVA-NeXT to effectively handle long-video beyond the limitation of the “max_token_length” of the LLM.
- Strong video understanding ability. (1) LLaVA-Next-Image, which combines the above two techniques, yields superior zero-shot performance than open-source LMMs tuned on videos. (2) LLaVA-Next-Video, further supervised fine-tuning (SFT) LLaVA-Next-Image on video data, achieves better video understanding capabilities compared to LLaVA-Next-Image. (3) LLaVA-Next-Video-DPO, which aligns the model response with AI feedback using direct preference optimization (DPO), showing significant performance boost.
- Efficient deployment and inference with SGLang. It allows 5x faster inference on video tasks, allowing more scalable serving such as million-level video re-captioning. See instructions in our repo.**

##
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.

- Llava-Next uses different number of patches for images and thus has to pad the inputs inside modeling code, aside from the padding done when processing the inputs. The default setting is “left-padding” if model is in `eval()` mode, otherwise “right-padding”.

> [!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.

###
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-NeXT-Video-7B-hf and a conversation history of videos and images.

    from transformers import LlavaNextVideoProcessor

    processor = LlavaNextVideoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/LLaVA-NeXT-Video-7B-hf")

    conversation = [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the human's questions."},
                ],
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "What’s shown in this image?"},
                {"type": "image"},
                ],
        },
        {
            "role": "assistant",
            "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "This image shows a red stop sign."},]
        },
        {

            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "Why is this video funny?"},
                {"type": "video"},
                ],
        },
    ]

    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 visuals
    print(text_prompt)

🚀 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 example

###
Single Media Mode

The model can accept both images and videos as input. Here’s an example code for inference in half-precision (`torch.float16`):

    from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
    import torch
    from transformers import LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration, LlavaNextVideoProcessor

    # Load the model in half-precision
    model = LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/LLaVA-NeXT-Video-7B-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
    processor = LlavaNextVideoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/LLaVA-NeXT-Video-7B-hf")

    # Load the video as an np.array, sampling uniformly 8 frames (can sample more for longer videos)
    video_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="raushan-testing-hf/videos-test", filename="sample_demo_1.mp4", repo_type="dataset")

    conversation = [
        {

            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "Why is this video funny?"},
                {"type": "video", "path": video_path},
                ],
        },
    ]

    inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, num_frames=8, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True, return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt")

    out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=60)
    processor.batch_decode(out, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)

###
Mixed Media Mode

The model can also generate from an interleaved image-video inputs. However note, that it was not trained in interleaved image-video setting which might affect the performance. Below is an example usage for mixed media input, add the following lines to the above code snippet:

    # Generate from image and video mixed inputs
    conversation = [
        {

            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "How many cats are there in the image?"},
                {"type": "image", "url": "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"},
                ],
        },
        {

            "role": "assistant",
            "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "There are two cats"}],
        },
        {

            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "Why is this video funny?"},
                {"type": "video", "path": video_path},
                ],
        },
    ]
    inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, num_frames=8, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True, return_dict=True, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")

    # Generate
    generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=50)
    processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)

Model optimization

###
Quantization using Bitsandbytes for memory efficiency

The model can be loaded in lower bits, significantly reducing memory burden while maintaining the performance of the original model. This allows for efficient deployment on resource-constrained cases.

First, make sure to install bitsandbytes by running `pip install bitsandbytes` and to have access to a GPU/accelerator that is supported by the library.

bitsandbytes is being refactored to support multiple backends beyond CUDA. Currently, ROCm (AMD GPU) and Intel CPU implementations are mature, with Intel XPU in progress and Apple Silicon support expected by Q4/Q1. For installation instructions and the latest backend updates, visit this link.

We value your feedback to help identify bugs before the full release! Check out these docs for more details and feedback links.

Then simply load the quantized model by adding `BitsAndBytesConfig` as shown below:

    from transformers import LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration, LlavaNextVideoProcessor

    # specify how to quantize the model
    quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
        load_in_4bit=True,
        bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
        bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16,
    )

    model = LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/LLaVA-NeXT-Video-7B-hf", quantization_config=quantization_config, device_map="auto")

###
Flash-Attention 2 to speed-up generation

Additionally, we can greatly speed-up model inference by using Flash Attention, which is a faster implementation of the attention mechanism used inside the model.

First, make sure to install the latest version of Flash Attention 2:

    pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Also, you should have a hardware that is compatible with Flash-Attention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of the flash attention repository. FlashAttention-2 can only be used when a model is loaded in `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`.

To load and run a model using Flash Attention-2, simply add `attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"` when loading the model as follows:

    from transformers import LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration

    model = LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
        "llava-hf/LLaVA-NeXT-Video-7B-hf",
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,
        attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    ).to(0)

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. See LlavaNextVideoImageProcessor.call() for details. LlavaProcessor uses LlavaNextVideoImageProcessor for processing images.
- image_sizes (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, 2)`, optional) — The sizes of the images in the batch, being (height, width) for each image.
- 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"`. If `"default"`, the CLS token is removed from the vision features. If `"full"`, the full vision features are used.
- 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.
- pixel_values_videos (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_frames, num_channels, image_size, image_size)) -- The tensors corresponding to the input videos. Pixel values can be obtained using [AutoImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoImageProcessor). See` LlavaNextVideoVideoProcessor.call `for details. [LlavaProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/llava#transformers.LlavaProcessor) uses`LlavaNextVideoVideoProcessor` for processing videos.
- 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).

The LlavaNextVideoForConditionalGeneration 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.
