LLaVA-NeXT

##
Overview

The LLaVA-NeXT model was proposed in LLaVA-NeXT: Improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge by Haotian Liu, Chunyuan Li, Yuheng Li, Bo Li, Yuanhan Zhang, Sheng Shen, Yong Jae Lee. LLaVa-NeXT (also called LLaVa-1.6) improves upon LLaVa by increasing the input image resolution and training on an improved visual instruction tuning dataset to improve OCR and common sense reasoning.

The introduction from the blog is the following:

*In October 2023, we released LLaVA-1.5 with a simple and efficient design along with great performance on a benchmark suite of 12 datasets. It has since served as the foundation of many comprehensive studies of data, model, and capabilities of large multimodal models (LMM), and has enabled various new applications.

Today, we are thrilled to present LLaVA-NeXT, with improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge. LLaVA-NeXT even exceeds Gemini Pro on several benchmarks.

Compared with LLaVA-1.5, LLaVA-NeXT has several improvements:

Increasing the input image resolution to 4x more pixels. This allows it to grasp more visual details. It supports three aspect ratios, up to 672x672, 336x1344, 1344x336 resolution. Better visual reasoning and OCR capability with an improved visual instruction tuning data mixture. Better visual conversation for more scenarios, covering different applications. Better world knowledge and logical reasoning. Efficient deployment and inference with SGLang. Along with performance improvements, LLaVA-NeXT maintains the minimalist design and data efficiency of LLaVA-1.5. It re-uses the pretrained connector of LLaVA-1.5, and still uses less than 1M visual instruction tuning samples. The largest 34B variant finishes training in ~1 day with 32 A100s.*

LLaVa-NeXT incorporates a higher input resolution by encoding various patches of the input image. Taken from the original paper.

This model was contributed by nielsr. 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 that each checkpoint has been trained with a specific prompt format, depending on which large language model (LLM) was used. You can use the processor’s `apply_chat_template` to format your prompts correctly. For that you have to construct a conversation history, passing 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. Below is an example of how to do that and the list of formats accepted by each checkpoint.

We will use llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf and a conversation history of text and image. Each content field has to be a list of dicts, as follows:

    from transformers import LlavaNextProcessor

    processor = LlavaNextProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-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)
    >>> "[INST] <image>\nWhat's shown in this image? [/INST] This image shows a red stop sign. [INST] Describe the image in more details. [/INST]"

- If you want to construct a chat prompt yourself, below is a list of possible formats . llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf requires the following format:

    "[INST] <image>\nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST]"

llava-v1.6-vicuna-7b-hf and llava-v1.6-vicuna-13b-hf require the following format:

    "A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the human's questions. USER: <image>\nWhat is shown in this image? ASSISTANT:"

llava-v1.6-34b-hf requires the following format:

    "<|im_start|>system\nAnswer the questions.<|im_end|><|im_start|>user\n<image>\nWhat is shown in this image?<|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant\n"

Usage example

###
Single image inference

Here’s how to load the model and perform inference in half-precision (`torch.float16`):

    from transformers import LlavaNextProcessor, LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration
    import torch
    from PIL import Image
    import requests

    processor = LlavaNextProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

    model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True)
    model.to("cuda:0")

    # prepare image and text prompt, using the appropriate prompt template
    url = "https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/1a91fc274d7c35a9b50b3cb29c4247ae5837ce39/images/llava_v1_5_radar.jpg?raw=true"
    image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

    conversation = [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "image"},
                {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
            ],
        },
    ]
    prompt = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True)
    inputs = processor(prompt, image, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda:0")

    # autoregressively complete prompt
    output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)

    print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

###
Multi image inference

LLaVa-Next can perform inference with multiple images as input, where images either belong to the same prompt or different prompts (in batched inference). Here is how you can do it:

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

    # Load the model in half-precision
    model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
    processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

    # Get three 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)

    url = "https://huggingface.co/microsoft/kosmos-2-patch14-224/resolve/main/snowman.jpg"
    image_snowman = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

    # Prepare a batch of two prompts, where the first one is a multi-turn conversation and the second is not
    conversation_1 = [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "image"},
                {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
                ],
        },
        {
            "role": "assistant",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "There is a red stop sign in the image."},
                ],
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "image"},
                {"type": "text", "text": "What about this image? How many cats do you see?"},
                ],
        },
    ]

    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
    # Each "<image>" token uses one image leaving the next for the subsequent "<image>" tokens
    inputs = processor(text=prompts, images=[image_stop, image_cats, image_snowman], padding=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

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

class transformers.LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration

< source >

( config: LlavaNextConfig )

Parameters

- config (LlavaNextConfig or `LlavaNextVisionConfig`) — 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-NeXT 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_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` 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. See LlavaNextImageProcessor.call() for details. LlavaProcessor uses LlavaNextImageProcessor 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 (`int`, optional, defaults to -2) — The index of the layer to select the vision feature.
- 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.

  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]`.

Returns

`transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A `transformers.models.llava_next.modeling_llava_next.LlavaNextCausalLMOutputWithPast` 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 (LlavaNextConfig) 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 (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, optional) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the image embeddings, `(batch_size, num_images, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  image_hidden_states of the model produced by the vision encoder, and optionally by the perceiver

The LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration 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, LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration

    >>> model = LlavaNextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")
    >>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-v1.6-mistral-7b-hf")

    >>> prompt = "[INST] <image>\nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST]"
    >>> url = "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"
    >>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

    >>> inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt")

    >>> # Generate
    >>> generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=30)
    >>> processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
    "[INST]  \nWhat is shown in this image? [/INST] The image appears to be a radar chart, which is a type of multi-dimensional plot (...)"
