## Introduction
The Imp project aims to provide a family of a strong multimodal `small` language models (MSLMs). Our `imp-v1-3b` is a strong MSLM with only **3B** parameters, which is build upon a small yet powerful SLM [Phi-2 ](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/phi-2)(2.7B) and a powerful visual encoder [SigLIP ](https://huggingface.co/google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384)(0.4B), and trained on the [LLaVA-v1.5](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA) training set.
As shown in the Table below, `imp-v1-3b` significantly outperforms the counterparts of similar model sizes, and even achieves slightly better performance than the strong LLaVA-7B model on various multimodal benchmarks.
We release our model weights and provide an example below to run our model . Detailed technical report and corresponding training/evaluation code will be released soon on our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/MILVLG/imp). We will persistently improve our model and release the next versions to further improve model performance :)
## How to use
**Install dependencies**
```bash
pip install transformers # latest version is ok, but we recommend v4.31.0
pip install -q pillow accelerate einops
```
You can use the following code for model inference. The format of text instruction is similar to [LLaVA](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA). A Colab page to run this example is provided [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1EBYky6xIPjnlPppo2gZaiNK6gEsjXgom?usp=drive_link#scrollTo=2-VpU6QzWCVZ). Note that the example can only be run on GPUs currently.
```Python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
torch.set_default_device("cuda")
#Create model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"MILVLG/imp-v1-3b",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto",
trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MILVLG/imp-v1-3b", trust_remote_code=True)
#Set inputs
text = "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. USER: <image>\nWhat are the colors of the bus in the image? ASSISTANT:"
image = Image.open("images/bus.jpg")
input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt').input_ids
image_tensor = model.image_preprocess(image)
#Generate the answer
output_ids = model.generate(
input_ids,
max_new_tokens=100,
images=image_tensor,
use_cache=True)[0]
print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip())
```
## Model evaluation
We conduct evaluation on 9 commonly-used benchmarks, including 5 academic VQA benchmarks and 4 popular MLLM benchmarks, to compare our Imp model with LLaVA (7B) and existing MSLMs of similar model sizes.
